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 (DG55 DNF) between September 2008 and September 2022.

The record contains 14 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 28 September 2022 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: Lighting (16 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 22 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 Front Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Rear fog lamp not working (4.5.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a))”.
