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.

- 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.
