MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Volkswagen Golf (S652 KNK) between November 2005 and November 2025.

The record contains 21 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 14 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (11 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 17 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 Inner Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Front Windscreen washer not working (3.5 (a))”; “Exhaust hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (a))”.
