MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2007 Volkswagen Fox (YL57 GFZ) between December 2010 and May 2024.

The record contains 15 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 24 May 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (19 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues), Brakes (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 41 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: “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Hydraulic brake cylinder leaking hydraulic fluid (1.1.16 (b) (i))”.
