MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Volkswagen Polo (MF53 OVH) between February 2007 and January 2016.

The record contains 9 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 25 January 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (5 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Brakes (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 3 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 Front Tyre(s) incorrect because different size tyres are fitted on the same axle. (4.1.A.1a)”; “Offside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (4.1.D.1a)”; “Offside Front Suspension arm has excessive play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)”.
