BU02 WWF MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Volkswagen Polo (BU02 WWF) between April 2006 and July 2026.
The record contains 21 passes and 4 failures.
The most recent test on 10 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (11 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 19 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: “Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect no pattern (4.1.2 (c))”; “Rear fog lamp not working (4.5.1 (a) (ii))”.
