MOT Analysis

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

36 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Volkswagen Polo (CA03 LKY) between July 2006 and June 2025.

The record contains 21 passes and 15 failures.

The most recent test on 20 June 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 15 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (42 issues), Lighting (20 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (16 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Tyres (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 56 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: “Nearside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (front) (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Outer Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced sill (7.1.1 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
