MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Volkswagen Polo (W98 LUD) between March 2006 and August 2021.

The record contains 14 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 03 August 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (22 issues), Brakes (22 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Windscreen (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 27 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 Road wheel fixing missing bolt missing (5.2.1 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Stop lamp(s) light intensity significantly reduced (4.3.3 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Headlamp reflector seriously defective (4.1.1 (b) (ii))”.
