2017 Volkswagen Polo 1.8L Petrol · V33 HJH

This vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its inspections. The most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 98,177 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a similar clean result on 31 March 2025, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a high standard and lacks the chronic mechanical failures often seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a nine year old Polo. Between December 2021 and March 2026, the odometer rose from 73,240 to 98,177 miles, averaging roughly 11,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in testing between December 2022 and March 2025, though the vehicle remained compliant. A failure on 30 November 2022 was resolved within a week, which is standard for minor rectification work. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a vehicle approaching 100,000 miles. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually verify the condition of wear-and-tear items that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical limit. Focus on the depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake discs and pads. Check for any signs of suspension bush perishing or coil spring corrosion, as these components typically degrade at this mileage regardless of the MOT outcome. Given the lack of recorded faults, the primary goal of a physical inspection should be to ensure the service history matches the clean MOT record, confirming that oil changes and filter replacements occurred despite the lack of mandated test failures.
