MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volkswagen Polo (YC54 AFE) between October 2007 and November 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 7 failures.
