VOLKSWAGEN POLO2014 · 1.4L Petrol

This Volkswagen Polo presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent inspection. The vehicle passed its last MOT on 26 April 2025 at 58,757 miles with no defects recorded. While the record shows two previous failures on 5 April 2023 and 24 April 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved immediately, as the car passed the following day in both instances. The mileage is notably low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging under 5,000 miles per year. Between the April 2023 test at 48,488 miles and the April 2025 test at 58,757 miles, the car covered 10,269 miles over two years. This consistent, low-intensity usage pattern typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. Despite the clean MOT history, the low annual mileage raises a specific risk regarding vehicle stagnation. A buyer should manually check for perished rubber seals, flat spots on the tyres, and potential brake caliper seizing or disc corrosion caused by long periods of standing. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last three years is positive, but it does not replace the need for a physical check of the fluid levels and battery health. Given the age of the car and the lack of reported faults, the primary focus during a physical inspection should be the condition of the suspension bushes and the presence of any structural corrosion on the underbody. While the DVSA records show no failures, these components often degrade with age regardless of the low mileage.
