2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · NV68 AEE

The vehicle presents a stable and highly favourable mechanical trajectory, culminating in a completely clean pass on 10 December 2025 at 11,078 miles. The maintenance trend is firmly resolving, having rectified the sole defect from the previous year. No structural, mechanical, or advisory flags appear in the most recent records, indicating diligent upkeep. The recorded mileage of 11,078 miles translates to roughly 1,385 miles per year, confirming exceptionally light usage. Between 15 December 2022 and 19 December 2023, the Polo covered just 1,899 miles, a period where the vehicle likely stood idle for extended durations. The subsequent jump to 9,757 miles by 18 December 2024 shows a slight increase in use, though the annual accumulation remains remarkably low. Such sparse mileage accumulation typically preserves mechanical components but demands scrutiny of consumables and rubber seals that degrade through age rather than use. The sole defect on record, a failed wiper clearing effectiveness on 18 December 2024 at 9,757 miles, points to a consumable wear issue rather than a systemic mechanical fault. The tester flagged both wipers under section 3.4(b)(ii), a trivial oversight that the owner promptly corrected for the retest on the same day. Buyers should inspect the windscreen washer fluid delivery and wiper blade condition, as infrequent use can cause pump blockages or perished rubber. Given the extended periods of inactivity, a thorough undercarriage inspection for surface corrosion on brake discs, exhaust components, and suspension bushes remains prudent, despite the absence of any flagged corrosion in the MOT records.
