2017 VOLKSWAGEN POLO1.2L Petrol

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent pass record over its six-year history. The most recent test in February 2026 at 27,796 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced the first advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. This indicates that while the basic consumables are beginning to require attention, the core mechanical and structural components have remained sound throughout the previous inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between 2020 and 2023, the car covered only 8,479 miles total, suggesting very infrequent use or long periods of storage. A slight increase in usage occurred between 2023 and early 2026, where the vehicle clocked over 4,300 miles in twenty-four months. This low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber parts and seals from sitting. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre alignment, as the noted nearside rear tyre wear on the edge may indicate a tracking issue or worn suspension bushes. Because the car has been driven sparingly, it is vital to check the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers and to verify that the rubber components are not becoming brittle from age. The MOT record shows no history of structural rust or mechanical failures, which suggests a well-maintained example despite the low usage patterns.
