2011 VOLKSWAGEN POLO1.4L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 12, 2026, at 73,186 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. A failure just one day prior at 73,182 miles revealed critical tyre-related defects, specifically a cut offside front tyre and a nearside front tyre worn to the limit. While these issues were addressed immediately, the history suggests the owner only services components when they trigger a MOT test failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a 15-year-old Volkswagen Polo, averaging an annual走行 rate of approximately 4,879 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 3,400 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 4,100 miles between June 2025 and June 2026. However, low mileage often correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber-based components due to age, which aligns with the issues noted in the record. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension assembly. The record indicates persistent light misting of oil on both front shock absorbers dating back to August 2023 through June 2024. While this did not cause a failure, the recurring mention suggests seal wear that may eventually lead to leakage. You should also check the tyres for perishing and sidew cracking, as the 2025 test flagged such damage despite the low mileage, indicating the rubber is reaching the end of life regardless of tread depth.
