MOT Analysis

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

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 2012 Volkswagen Golf (WM12 RGO) between May 2015 and April 2026.

The record contains 12 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 20 April 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Windscreen (2 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Suspension (1 issue), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 2 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 carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds default limits (8.2.1.2 (b))”; “Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.1.2 (h))”; “Nearside Obligatory mirror insecure (3.3 (b) (ii))”.
