MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Volkswagen Golf (YY56 AWG) between September 2009 and November 2023.

The record contains 15 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 11 November 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (14 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 32 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: “Front Exhaust emissions likely to be affected by an exhaust leak exhaust blowing front (possibly within flexi (8.2.1.1 (”; “Offside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (”; “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”.
