VOLKSWAGEN POLO MATCH TSI S-A2020 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest inspection in August 2025. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent lapse in preventative care immediately prior to that pass. The car failed the test on 20 August 2025 at 26,433 miles due to thin front brake pads and lipped brake discs, along with an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit. The fact that these issues were rectified within three days suggests the owner only addressed faults when forced by a test failure rather than performing routine servicing. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,410 miles per year. The data shows consistent use between tests, moving from 16,680 miles in September 2023 to 21,950 miles in August 2024, and reaching 26,460 miles by 2025. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can also lead to flat-spotting tyres or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A buyer should inspect the front suspension assembly closely to ensure the recent replacement of pads and discs did not mask underlying alignment issues, as the edge wear on the offside front tyre in the 2025 failure indicates a tracking fault or a worn component such as a control arm bushing. Given the low annual mileage, check the brake rotors for surface pitting and ensure the tyres are not cracking from age, which is common in vehicles driven infrequently. The structural integrity appears unblemished across the record with no advisories for corrosion reported to date.
