MOT Analysis

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

11 MOT tests are recorded for this 2016 Volkswagen Polo (GD16 NKL) between May 2019 and July 2026.

The record contains 8 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 31 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (6 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 15 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: “Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Inner Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
