MOT Analysis

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

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 2011 Volkswagen Polo (YY11 VLS) between August 2014 and August 2022.

The record contains 10 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 12 August 2022 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 (7 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 5 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 Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (6.1.2 (a))”.
