MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Volkswagen Polo (V826 ESF) between October 2005 and November 2023.

The record contains 19 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 08 November 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (11 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 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 Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (4.1.D.1b)”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (4.1.D.1b)”; “Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits see emissions sheet (7.3.D.3)”.
