2021 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · DA21 ZTN

The Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 22,762 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean history across all three available entries. The mileage pattern shows light use for a five-year-old vehicle. The record moved from 17,680 miles at the 6 March 2024 test, to 20,364 miles on 17 March 2025, then to 22,762 miles by February 2026. That averages roughly 2,500 miles per year between tests and about 4,552 miles annually since registration. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the sparse three-entry history shows only clean passes with no advisories on consumables or mechanical items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low mileage with long standing periods can allow tyres to perish, brake calipers to seize, and suspension bushes to degrade without showing in a pass result. The tester logged no corrosion, exhaust, or structural concerns, but the DVSA data alone does not confirm underside condition. Given the clean MOT trail and minimal annual coverage, previous keepers likely kept the car lightly and serviced it to test standard. Verify service stamps, check for binding brakes and flat-spotted tyres from standing, and inspect subframes for early rust before purchase.
