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 2008 Volkswagen Golf (VO08 KWD) between February 2011 and October 2023.

The record contains 14 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 19 October 2023 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: Tyres (20 issues), Suspension (14 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 39 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 Anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush excessively worn drop link (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Outer Vehicle structure or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of”; “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”.
