2016 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · ET16 ABZ

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 2 July 2025 at 54,831 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back several years, suggesting a high standard of mechanical upkeep. The mileage is notably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,483 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has fluctuated slightly, with a significant jump of 10,577 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, compared to a more modest increase of 6,076 miles in the most recent year. These figures indicate the car has not suffered from prolonged periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished seals. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or tyre tread depth over the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. While the record is pristine, a buyer should still verify the condition of the rubber components and fluids. Low mileage can sometimes mask degradation in items that age regardless of use, such as coolant hoses or auxiliary belts. A physical inspection should focus on confirming the absence of structural corrosion, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed history of the underbody. Checking for any signs of oil leaks or battery health is advisable given the relatively low annual usage. Overall, the data suggests a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical failures.
