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 2004 Volkswagen Polo (W50 JCT) between March 2007 and March 2026.

The record contains 19 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 24 March 2026 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: Tyres (18 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Steering (6 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 34 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 Rear Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Lower Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”.
