MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Volkswagen Golf (S311 EUD) between March 2006 and December 2022.

The record contains 15 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 15 December 2022 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (14 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Windscreen (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 27 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: “Nearside Parking brake inoperative on one side (1.4.1 (a))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”.
