2016 VOLKSWAGEN POLO1.2L Petrol

This Volkswagen Polo demonstrates a stable and exemplary roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 7 August 2025 at 45,665 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to April 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,566 miles per year. The data shows a period of very light use between April 2021 at 34,102 miles and June 2022 at 35,286 miles, where the car covered only 1,184 miles over fourteen months. Since 2022, the usage has increased to a steady rate of approximately 5,000 miles per annum, reaching 45,665 miles by August 2025. While the MOT history is devoid of failures or advisories, the low mileage and periods of inactivity introduce specific risks. A buyer should check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can degrade regardless of mileage. Brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting that often occurs when a vehicle stands for extended periods. The absence of any flagged issues regarding structural integrity or exhaust emissions suggests the chassis remains sound. Given the clean record, a physical inspection should focus on fluid condition and battery health to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from the effects of under-use.
