MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volkswagen Polo (HG54 USM) between October 2007 and January 2025.

The record contains 18 passes and 8 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (29 issues), Lighting (15 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (13 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Suspension (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Central Rear Seat belt missing (7.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”; “Offside Registration plate lamp not illuminating the registration plate (1.1.C.1e)”.
