MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volkswagen Polo (YS04 WVR) between May 2007 and September 2020.

The record contains 13 passes and 5 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (11 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust emissions exceed manufacturer's specified limit (8.2.2.2 (a))”; “Bonnet primary retaining device ineffective (3.1 (c))”; “Offside Rear Wheel bearing so rough it is likely to overheat or break up (5.1.3 (b) (ii))”.
