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 1989 Volkswagen Polo (F554 SUC) between November 2006 and August 2025.

The record contains 19 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 13 August 2025 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: Brakes (24 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Tyres (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 42 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: “Brake performance not tested (1.2.1 (g))”; “Nearside Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”; “Windscreen washer not working (3.5 (a))”.
