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 1999 Volkswagen Golf (RIL 6179) between August 2006 and November 2022.

The record contains 17 passes and 9 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (20 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Windscreen (12 issues), Brakes (11 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
