2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · SL64 AEC

The 2014 Volkswagen Polo presents a clean and stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 68,322 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this follows four consecutive annual passes with zero advisories. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no worsening mechanical or structural concerns across the recorded history. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. From the 9 September 2021 test at 52,126 miles to the 4 September 2025 test at 68,322 miles, the car covered just 16,196 miles over four years, averaging roughly 4,049 miles annually against a lifetime mean near 5,694. The DVSA record shows no gaps in testing and no rapid accumulation events; each entry sits close to the prior year with clean results, which suggests the previous keeper maintained test compliance without deferring examinations. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual mileage implies potential prolonged standing periods that accelerate perished rubber and surface corrosion. The MOT history flags no recurring faults on these components, yet testers recorded no advisories at any stage, meaning minor wear escaped formal notation. Verify underbody structural integrity and exhaust emissions in person, as a clean record over low miles does not exempt the car from age-related degradation invisible to the annual test.
