VOLKSWAGEN POLO2017 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a clean and stable maintenance record, currently holding a valid MOT certificate that remains in force until November 2026. The most recent inspection on 18 November 2025 at 31,067 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, with no recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns flagged by testers over the last four years. The single failure recorded on 26 November 2024 appears to be a procedural or administrative anomaly, as the vehicle passed the same test on the same day without any recorded defects. With a recorded mileage of 31,067 miles over nine years, this Volkswagen Polo averages approximately 3,450 miles per annum. This low-usage profile is consistent across the entire history, showing a steady, incremental increase in mileage between yearly tests. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in regular operation rather than being left standing for extended periods. The consistent, low-mileage accumulation typically reduces stress on the drivetrain and chassis, though it does not eliminate the need for age-related maintenance. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade through age rather than high-mileage wear. Given the low annual usage, inspect the brake discs and calipers for signs of surface corrosion or binding, which can occur when a vehicle is driven sparingly. Check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and the integrity of the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as these items often deteriorate due to time rather than road use. While the MOT history is exemplary, a thorough check of the service history is recommended to ensure that time-sensitive items, such as brake fluid changes and engine oil, have been addressed according to the manufacturer schedule.
