MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Volkswagen Polo (MD05 JDZ) between April 2023 and June 2025.

The record contains 2 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 12 June 2025 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (10 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Bodywork (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 8 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 Rear Outer Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural ”; “Offside Front Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Outer Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural”.
