2013 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · RJ13 ABZ

The 2013 Volkswagen Polo holds a valid MOT pass dated 26 February 2026 at 69,322 miles, and the maintenance trend is stable with no defects recorded across the recent test cycle. In the preceding test on 25 February 2026 at 69,316 miles the vehicle failed with no defects listed, a pattern that mirrors the July 2025 sequence. The tester issued a fail on 19 July 2025 at 62,447 miles, then passed the car the same day at 62,449 miles. Such rapid reversals with negligible mileage suggest minor unrecorded issues rather than deep mechanical fault. Odometer readings show light usage for a thirteen-year-old hatchback. The July 2024 test at 51,909 miles established a baseline. Twelve months later the July 2025 pass recorded 62,449 miles, an annual addition of 10,540 miles. By February 2026 the car had covered just 6,873 further miles in seven months, rounding the lifetime average to roughly 5,300 miles per year. The history is sparse but free of advisories, indicating the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance if not meticulous record detail. No suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions problems appear in any test entry. The absence of flagged defects across the July 2024, July 2025 and February 2026 passes points to a structurally sound example on paper. A buyer should still inspect the underbody for rust and check the front suspension arms and rear beam for fatigue given the age. The twin fail-pass anomalies warrant a request for the original failure notices to confirm no hidden consumable wear like tyres or wiper blades was quietly rectified.
