2015 VOLKSWAGEN POLO1.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of reactive maintenance. The most recent MOT test on 29 September 2025 at 118,229 miles passed with no defects recorded, despite a failure just one day prior at a slightly lower mileage. This pattern suggests the owner is proactive in addressing immediate compliance issues to ensure the vehicle remains legal. The lack of advisories in the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components are currently meeting DVSA standards without pending failures. At 118,229 miles over eleven years, the Polo has averaged approximately 10,748 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical UK averages for a used small hatchback. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between September 2023 and October 2024, and another 11,890 miles between October 2024 and September 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seal failure and brake corrosion. While the current record is clean, the repeated failures on 1 October 2024 and 28 September 2025 indicate that the vehicle frequently operates at the limit of its legal safety tolerances. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on Polos of this mileage bracket. Given the age of the car, checking for structural corrosion on the sills and the condition of the brake discs is essential to ensure that the recent passes are not merely masking underlying mechanical degradation that will soon require attention.
