2014 VOLKSWAGEN POLO1.4L Petrol

The 2025‑12‑18 MOT at 41,943 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy at the latest test. All MOTs since 2017 have been passed, with no recorded failures after the 2017 stop‑lamp defect, indicating a stable maintenance record and no worsening condition. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase of roughly 3,000‑4,000 miles per year, consistent with the vehicle’s 12‑year age and low annual usage. The interval from 2023‑12‑22 (26,432 miles) to 2024‑12‑19 (33,672 miles) added 7,240 miles, and the 2024‑2025 jump of 8,271 miles suggests the car has been driven more intensively in recent years, though the overall record remains clean and free of major gaps. Recurring observations include an offside stop lamp failure at 12,913 miles in 2017 and repeated notes of offside front tyre wear on the edges in 2022 and 2023, pointing to possible suspension or alignment issues and tyre wear patterns. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in recent tests does not guarantee the absence of hidden rust, so a visual inspection of the chassis, suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs is advisable. A buyer should therefore examine the tyre tread and wear indicators, test the functionality of all stop lamps, and inspect the condition of the suspension components and brake system for binding calipers or worn discs, while also checking for any structural rust that may have developed during periods of low use.
