MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volkswagen Golf (RE04 XPF) between July 2007 and October 2022.

The record contains 15 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 05 October 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (20 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Bodywork (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 31 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Shock absorbers has negligible damping effect (5.3.2 (d))”; “Nearside Outer Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced Seal ”.
