2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · LG14 AEL

This Volkswagen Polo maintains a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 17 March 2026 at 55,243 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back several years, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a high state of mechanical repair. The mileage is notably low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,604 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, with 4,770 miles added between March 2023 and March 2024, and 3,690 miles added between March 2025 and March 2026. This consistent, low-intensity usage suggests the car has avoided the heavy wear typically associated with high-mileage commuters. The record shows a single failure on 16 March 2023 at 42,610 miles, though the vehicle passed on the same day with no listed defects. This likely indicates a minor administrative error or a trivial rectification. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues across the entire history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perishing rubber seals, tyre cracking, or brake caliper seizing due to inactivity. Check the date codes on the tyres and ensure the brake pedal feel is firm, as the lack of MOT advisories does not guarantee that consumables are not nearing the end of their natural service life.
