VOLKSWAGEN POLO2018 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 10 November 2025 at 20,971 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car is currently in good mechanical condition. This follows a series of clean passes in previous years, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard without recurring major mechanical failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 12,997 miles and October 2024 at 17,928 miles, the car covered only 4,931 miles over two years. This pattern suggests limited urban use or long periods of stationary. The single failure on 3 November 2023 at 15,239 miles, which was rectified just three days later, likely involved a minor consumable item like a bulb or a minor adjustment that required immediate professional attention. Despite the clean history, a buyer should inspect components prone to degradation during low-use cycles. Low mileage can lead to rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls drying out or cracking due to lack of movement. The brakes should be checked for surface pitting or seized calipers, as infrequent use often leads to corrosion on the discs. Given the vehicle's age, a physical inspection for early-stage structural rust remains necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked environmental wear.
