MOT Analysis

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 (RV08 EPP) between February 2011 and October 2025.

The record contains 15 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 23 October 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (11 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 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: “Brake lever has insufficient reserve travel (1.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed inside edge (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.
