MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Volkswagen Polo (BD02 CWE) between May 2006 and September 2017.

The record contains 11 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 12 September 2017 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (15 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (10 issues), Windscreen (9 issues), Suspension (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 43 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: “Exhaust emissions hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)”; “Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)”; “Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content at idle excessive (7.3.D.4)”.
