VOLKSWAGEN POLO2018 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 with a clean record, which is reassuring given it was tested just three months ago. The overall mechanical trend appears stable, with no defects or advisories recorded across the last three years of testing. There is one anomaly in the history where the car failed on March 5, 2025, but passed two days later with zero defects listed on the failure notice. This is unusual and typically suggests a minor administrative error or a very quick rectification, such as a blown bulb, rather than a structural or mechanical fault. Since the mileage only moved by four miles between the fail and the pass, it was likely a simple fix. The mileage sits at 56,500 miles, which averages out to roughly 7,000 miles per year. This is typical usage for a vehicle of this age, implying it has not been subjected to excessive wear or long periods of inactivity. When inspecting the car, ask the seller specifically about the March 2025 failure to see if they have an invoice for work done that day. Physically, check the service history to confirm routine maintenance has been kept up to date, and inspect the brake discs and tyres for any signs of wear consistent with the mileage.
