2010 Volkswagen Polo SE TDI 75 1.6L Diesel · BRZ 1104

The 2010 Volkswagen Polo SE TDI 75 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 30 June 2025 at 161,546 miles where the tester recorded no defects. This clean pass follows four consecutive annual MOT passes with zero advisories, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical condition across the documented five-year span. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a sixteen-year-old car. The record shows 116,715 miles on 20 April 2021, rising to 127,363 by 27 April 2022, 136,002 on 6 May 2023, 150,340 on 9 July 2024, and 161,546 on 30 June 2025. That equates to roughly 10,000 to 14,000 miles per year with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing only clean passes with no flagged wear on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 161,546 miles covered. The absence of advisories does not preclude age-related corrosion on subframes or fatigue in rubber mountings that a test centre may not have escalated to a defect. Verify the service history matches the odometer and check for structural rust beneath sills and wheel arches. The clean MOT run suggests prior owners kept basic upkeep current, but no record exists of timing belt or clutch intervention on this high-mileage diesel.
