MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volkswagen Polo (SB54 FOU) between November 2007 and October 2017.

The record contains 10 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 26 October 2017 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

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