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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Volkswagen Polo (RA08 FXT) between August 2011 and July 2026.

The record contains 16 passes and 5 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (13 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
