MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Volkswagen Golf (S99 PAO) between October 2006 and June 2021.

The record contains 14 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 17 June 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (10 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Windscreen (8 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 13 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: “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
