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 2003 Volkswagen Polo (SC53 PZM) between December 2006 and February 2022.

The record contains 15 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 24 February 2022 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: Brakes (21 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues), Tyres (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 30 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 Rear Service brake excessively fluctuating (1.2.1 (e))”; “Nearside Rear Service brake excessively fluctuating (1.2.1 (e))”; “Nearside Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle (1.2.1 (b) (i))”.
