2010 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · ND10 AEA

The 2010 Volkswagen Polo presents a clean roadworthiness record with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 July 2025 at 107,488 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same date that listed no defects, indicating an administrative correction rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in July 2024 and July 2023 also closed with passes and zero advisories, showing no worsening of condition across the three-year window. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a sixteen-year-old car. The record shows 102,041 miles in July 2023, 103,982 miles in July 2024, and 107,488 miles in July 2025, equating to roughly 2,000 to 3,500 miles per year. This low annual use suggests light running rather than sustained motorway wear, though the sparse three-entry history leaves earlier life undocumented. The absence of any flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion means the MOT data reveals no recurring mechanical risks. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the underbody for hidden rust and verify the condition of consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades, as these fall outside mandatory failure criteria when within limits. Given the duplicated fail-and-pass entries at the 2024 and 2025 tests with no defects cited, the previous keeper appears to have maintained statutory compliance without neglect. The vehicle reads as a low-stress, lightly used example, but in-person checks on drivetrain seals and exhaust emissions remain prudent before purchase.
