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 2008 Volkswagen Polo (YH08 FTP) between March 2011 and August 2026.

The record contains 17 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 06 August 2026 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: Tyres (17 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 29 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: “Rear Shock absorbers has negligible damping effect (5.3.2 (d))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Offside Side repeater not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”.
