MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Volkswagen Polo (SF51 UDN) between August 2006 and May 2017.

The record contains 12 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 02 May 2017 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: Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 16 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 has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (4.1.D.1b)”; “Nearside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (4.1.D.1a)”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”.
