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 2004 Volkswagen Polo (AK04 DFN) between February 2007 and August 2019.

The record contains 14 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 26 August 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (13 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 18 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: “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”.
