MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Volkswagen Golf (RY53 NJX) between February 2007 and November 2021.

The record contains 15 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 02 November 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (12 issues), Brakes (10 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (7.3.D.3)”; “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases end box pipe broken off from silencer (7.1.2)”; “Nearside Rear Inner Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”.
