MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2009 Volkswagen Golf (YC59 UCS) between November 2012 and June 2024.

The record contains 12 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 07 June 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (15 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Steering (4 issues), Brakes (3 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: “Nearside Side repeater not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
