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 2001 Volkswagen Polo (Y904 AET) between June 2006 and August 2021.

The record contains 15 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 11 August 2021 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (10 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 22 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: “Emissions not tested because of excessive leaks (8.2.2.2 (e))”; “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases in three places, marked yellow (6.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Rear Macpherson strut corroded and seriously weakened top mount corroded (5.3.3 (b) (i))”.
