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 2009 Volkswagen Golf (WJ59 YJC) between September 2012 and September 2026.

The record contains 15 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 18 September 2026 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 (22 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Steering (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 24 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 Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Offside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”.
