MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Volkswagen Golf (V79 EUY) between January 2006 and January 2024.

The record contains 18 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 26 January 2024 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (13 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 20 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: “Exhaust hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (a))”; “Exhaust carbon monoxide content at idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits see sheet (8.2.1.2 (b))”; “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits see sheet (8.2.1.2 (c))”.
