What most often fails on a Volkswagen Golf at its MOT
Across 875,902 Volkswagen Golf MOT tests in 2025 (all versions together), these defects turned up most often.
- Coil spring: fractured or broken. On 2.9% of Volkswagen Golf tests.
- Tyre tread below the 1.6mm legal minimum. On 2.2% of Volkswagen Golf tests.
- Shock absorber with a serious fluid leak. On 1.9% of Volkswagen Golf tests, 2.0 times the rate for cars of the same age.
The MOT checks safety and emissions items, not the engine, clutch or gearbox, so this is one measure of how each car holds up rather than a full reliability verdict. These figures describe the model, all its versions together, not this particular car.
