MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Volkswagen Polo (VA57 OBR) between January 2011 and November 2024.

The record contains 15 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 26 November 2024 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 (26 issues), Suspension (19 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (9 issues), Brakes (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 53 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: “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds default limits (8.2.1.2 (b))”; “Nearside Front Macpherson strut mounting corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Side repeater light intensity significantly reduced (4.4.3 (a))”.
