MOT Analysis

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

31 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Volkswagen Golf (W232 GSE) between May 2006 and August 2025.

The record contains 20 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 11 August 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (11 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 36 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 below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Wheel bearing rough when rotated (5.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Offside Rear Brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))”.
