MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Volkswagen Polo (RJ56 DRX) between November 2009 and November 2025.

The record contains 17 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 08 November 2025 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: Tyres (14 issues), Windscreen (13 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Suspension (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 32 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 tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm rubber mounting deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”; “Nearside Front position lamp(s) not working (1.1.A.3b)”.
