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 2006 Volkswagen Golf (SJ56 XYC) between July 2009 and August 2024.

The record contains 16 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 30 August 2024 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: Lighting (17 issues), Suspension (15 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 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 Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Offside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
