2017 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · EIL 1120

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement in maintenance standards. The most recent test in September 2025 at 30,727 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, marking a departure from the issues noted in previous years. This suggests that the current owner has addressed identified mechanical weaknesses and is maintaining the vehicle to a high standard of operational readiness. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage over the recorded period, moving from 16,798 miles in September 2021 to 30,727 miles by September 2025. While this low-mile status typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts or brake corrosion if the car sits for extended periods without use. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and front suspension given the historical advisories. The 2021 and 2022 tests flagged the nearside front tyre as worn to the legal limit, and the 2022 test specifically identified pitted or scored front brake discs. Although the recent tests passed without defect, a buyer should verify that the current discs are not rusted and that the calipers are not seizing. Due to the age of the vehicle, checking for cracks in sidewalls and perished bushings is also advisable, as low mileage does not always prevent these components from drying out over time.
