2012 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Diesel · SH62 ABX

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 2 August 2025 at 104,881 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health indicates that the car met all legal safety and environmental standards at the time of testing. The recorded mileage of 104,881 miles is consistent with the vehicle's 14-year age, averaging roughly 7,492 miles per year. This suggests a steady pattern of use rather than excessive wear or prolonged periods of standing. The lack of historical data provided beyond the 2025 test prevents a deeper analysis of long-term wear patterns, but the current mileage is typical for a Polo of this vintage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for high-mileage Volkswagens, as the absence of recent advisories does not guarantee the remaining life of consumables. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or cracks. Inspect the brake discs and pads for thickness and check for any signs of binding calipers. Given the age of the chassis, a thorough check for corrosion on the underbody and sills is necessary. Examine the exhaust system for leaks or significant rust and verify the condition of the tyre treads and sidewalls. While the August 2025 test was clean, these mechanical components naturally degrade over time and require manual verification.
