MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volkswagen Polo (SB54 FSA) between December 2007 and October 2023.

The record contains 17 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 27 October 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (23 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 55 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: “Offside Front Suspension arm corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”; “Supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a fault (7.1.6 (a))”; “Rear Registration plate inscription illegible (0.1 (b))”.
