2017 VOLKSWAGEN POLO1.2L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects reported in its most recent 2026-02-04 MOT at 94,655 miles. Previous tests from 2025-02-03 (88,967 miles) and 2024-02-02 (82,715 miles) also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, an apparent discrepancy exists in the 2024-02-02 entry, which lists both a pass and a fail at the same mileage, potentially reflecting data entry errors. Despite this, the absence of recurring defects in the last three tests suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 9-year-old vehicle, averaging ~10,500 miles annually. Gaps between tests are regular, with intervals of approximately 12 months, and no rapid accumulation of miles that would accelerate wear on components like brakes or suspension. The 2023-02-15 test at 70,966 miles further confirms a clean history prior to the 2024-02-02 anomaly. This pattern implies the previous owner prioritized routine checks, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into minor wear. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without immediate MOT failures. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often develop gradually. The vehicle’s structural integrity and exhaust system warrant scrutiny, as these are not routinely assessed in MOTs. The 2024-02-02 inconsistency also merits clarification to confirm whether any unresolved issues were addressed prior to the subsequent pass.
