MOT Analysis

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

13 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Volkswagen Polo (T920 PWP) between May 2006 and July 2015.

The record contains 9 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 22 July 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
