VOLKSWAGEN POLO2014 · 1.2L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest-test, conducted on 21 November 2025 at 107,335 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that any issues identified by the tester were rectified immediately before the re-test. The clean results from 2024 and 2023 indicate that the vehicle has maintained consistent mechanical standards over the last two years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage, with 7,000 miles covered between December 2023 and November 2024, and another 6,500 miles recorded between November 2024 and November 2025. This regularity suggests the car has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the condition of seals, rubber components, and braking systems. While the current record is clean of advisories, the recurring failures in 2023 and 2025 indicate that certain components require frequent attention to pass the initial inspection. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and control arms for perished rubber, as these are common points of failure on the Polo model. Given the mileage exceeding 100,000 miles, checking for corrosion on the exhaust system and the condition of the brake lines is also essential to ensure no hidden structural degradation is developing beneath the surface.
