What most often fails on a Volkswagen Polo at its MOT
Across 632,066 Volkswagen Polo MOT tests in 2025 (all versions together), these defects turned up most often.
- Suspension pin or bush excessively worn. On 3.0% of Volkswagen Polo tests, 2.3 times the rate for cars of the same age.
- Position lamp: not working. On 2.5% of Volkswagen Polo tests.
- Coil spring: fractured or broken. On 2.4% of Volkswagen Polo tests.
The MOT checks safety and emissions items, not the engine, clutch or gearbox, so this is one measure of how each car holds up rather than a full reliability verdict. These figures describe the model, all its versions together, not this particular car.
