MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Volkswagen Golf (SP56 HME) between November 2009 and April 2023.

The record contains 14 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 20 April 2023 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: Suspension (32 issues), Lighting (17 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 66 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 Coil spring missing and directional control affected (5.3.1 (c) (ii))”; “Offside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Macpherson strut top bush or bearing has excessive wear or free play (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
