2015 VOLKSWAGEN POLO1.4L DIESEL

This 2015 Volkswagen Polo shows a total of 85,948 miles, which aligns with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The mileage suggests consistent, moderate use rather than extreme long-distance motorway driving or prolonged periods of inactivity. The MOT history reveals a concerning and recurring pattern regarding the offside front tyre. This specific tyre was flagged as worn close to the legal limit in 2025 and subsequently failed the 2026 test due to exposed cords. This indicates a persistent issue with tyre maintenance or, more likely, an underlying suspension or tracking alignment problem that has been ignored for at least two years. While the vehicle passed its most recent test in June 2026, the history shows a trend of minor mechanical degradation. The 2024 test identified wear in both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes. Although these were not severe enough to cause a failure at the time, they suggest that the front-end components are nearing the end of their functional lifespan. The overall condition of the vehicle appears stable in terms of passing tests, but the recurring tyre wear is a red flag. It suggests the car has been driven with poor alignment, which accelerates wear on tyres and suspension components.
