MOT Analysis

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 2005 Volkswagen Polo (CX55 TXR) between August 2008 and September 2021.

The record contains 14 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 07 September 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (29 issues), Lighting (19 issues), Brakes (14 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Steering (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 63 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 Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”; “Nearside Rear Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Side repeater not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”.
