2011 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Petrol · PY61 ABZ

This vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 14 June 2025 at 74,595 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is notably low for a 2011 model, averaging under 5,000 miles per year. A significant gap in usage occurred between June 2022 and June 2023, where the odometer moved only 739 miles from 60,486 to 71,227. This suggests the car may have spent periods of time stationary. The mileage then remained almost static between June 2023 and June 2024, increasing by only 541 miles. The absence of any recorded defects, advisories, or recurring failures across the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. While the record is clean, the low annual mileage and periods of inactivity increase the risk of perished rubber components. A buyer should specifically check for cracked suspension bushes, degraded tyre sidewalls, and potential brake caliper seizing caused by standing. The failure on 16 June 2023 was resolved within four days, though the record does not specify the fault. Given the lack of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions issues in the history, the primary focus during a physical inspection should be on fluid degradation and battery health. Verify that the oil and coolant have been changed regardless of the low mileage to ensure the engine remains protected.
