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 2006 Volkswagen Golf (SM06 UXO) between May 2009 and February 2025.

The record contains 16 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 06 February 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (20 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues). 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: “Brake performance unable to be tested hub or disc at the n/s/r failed (1.2.1 (g))”; “Driver's airbag obviously inoperative (7.1.5 (c))”; “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
