MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Volkswagen Polo (WJ02 UOB) between July 2006 and May 2022.

The record contains 16 passes and 14 failures.

The most recent test on 30 May 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 14 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (30 issues), Brakes (22 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues), Windscreen (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 54 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 Front Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover missing (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover missing (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Tyre tread pattern not visible over the whole tread area when minimum depth required is 1.0mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
