MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2007 Volkswagen Golf (SL57 EYB) between August 2010 and April 2025.

The record contains 13 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 26 April 2025 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (19 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 37 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: “Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))”; “Brake lever has insufficient reserve travel (1.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”.
