2015 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · M88 RAA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The February 2026 test at 71,539 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from the March 2025 test at 58,130 miles. This recent history indicates that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets all essential regulatory requirements without immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical low-to-mid-range usage pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 6,500 miles per year on average. A notable increase in usage occurred between March 2024 and March 2025, where the mileage rose from 42,161 to 58,130, representing nearly 16,000 miles in a single year. Since that period, the annual mileage has levelled off, suggesting a return to more moderate driving habits. The MOT history shows intermittent issues regarding tyre condition rather than mechanical or structural failures. In March 2024, the tester flagged front tyres worn close to the legal limit and an offside rear tyre showing signs of cracking or perishing. Similar tyre degradation was noted in the March 2021 test. These recurring advisories suggest that while the vehicle's primary mechanical systems appear sound, the previous owners occasionally neglected basic consumable upkeep. A prospective buyer should focus a physical inspection on the current condition of the tyres to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit or showing sidewall perishing. Although no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions have appeared in the records, the shift in mileage patterns warrants a check of the brake pads and discs for wear consistent with the higher-use period seen in 2024. No evidence of structural corrosion or significant mechanical neglect is present in the documented history.
