MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Volkswagen Golf (YY55 FXB) between November 2008 and January 2024.

The record contains 16 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 08 January 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (16 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Bodywork (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 33 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 pattern not visible over the whole tread area when minimum depth required is 1.0mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Front Windscreen wiper not working (3.4 (a))”; “Front Windscreen washer not working (3.5 (a))”.
