2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · OJ02 BEA

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and clean maintenance trend. Following a single failure in September 2022, the car has passed three consecutive annual inspections without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 56,702 miles confirms the vehicle currently meets all statutory requirements, suggesting that the mechanical and structural integrity has remained well-maintained. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,725 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 11,019 miles driven between the September 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 8,396 miles between 2023 and 2024. This low annual mileage typically indicates reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, though low usage can sometimes lead to rubber-based components degrading through age if the vehicle sits for long periods between journeys. A physical inspection should focus on components affected by age rather than high-mileage. While the MOT record is clean, the buyer should check for signs of cracking in suspension bushes or perished rubber arm arm boots, which can stiffen regardless of mileage. The brake discs should also be examined for surface pitting or corrosion, as low-use vehicles often suffer from rust buildup on the braking surfaces. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the last three years, the vehicle appears to have been kept to a good standard by its previous owners.
