MOT Analysis

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

32 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Volkswagen Polo (FL05 BYG) between February 2008 and March 2026.

The record contains 19 passes and 13 failures.

The most recent test on 12 March 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 13 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (31 issues), Lighting (30 issues), Brakes (17 issues), Tyres (15 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 58 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 Rear Outer Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural”; “Central Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Obligatory mirror seriously damaged, affecting the rear view (3.3 (b) (ii))”.
