Our Verdict
A sensible choice for high-mileage drivers, provided the recent MOT failure is understood. The vehicle shows a consistent passing record despite significant annual usage.
When inspecting this specific 1.2L TDI, focus on the recent MOT history. Although the 2025 failure recorded no specific defects in this data summary, you should ask the seller exactly what caused the failure on 21 November 2025 at 109,706 miles to ensure it was a minor issue rather than a mechanical concern.
Given the mileage is well above the aggregate average, check for signs of wear in the interior, particularly the driver's seat bolster and pedal rubber. Ensure there is evidence of regular oil changes, as the 1199cc diesel engine requires consistent maintenance to prevent turbocharger or injector issues common in high-mileage small-capacity diesels.
The 1.2L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, likely offering strong fuel economy for motorway driving. As a 2014 model, the tax band and insurance group should be relatively moderate, making it an economical choice for those covering high annual distances.
Maintenance costs for a Polo of this age typically involve routine servicing and potential replacements of wear-and-tear items like brakes and tyres. Expect annual running costs to be influenced heavily by your personal mileage, but the diesel engine's efficiency helps offset the higher frequency of maintenance required for a vehicle with over 110,000 miles.
Pay close attention to the lighting system; while this specific vehicle has no recorded headlamp failures, 'headlamp' is a top failure reason for this model aggregate. Check that all bulbs and lenses are clear and functioning correctly.
Additionally, look for signs of fluid leaks under the car during your inspection, as 'fluid leak' is another common failure point for this model. Given the 110,004 mileage, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension or engine bay that might indicate components reaching the end of their service life.
This 2014 Volkswagen Polo Match Edition TDI is a high-mileage example, having covered 110,004 miles since its first registration in January 2014. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,628 per year, the MOT history shows a pattern of passing tests, with only one recorded failure in November 2025. The vehicle's history is relatively stable, though the rapid mileage accumulation suggests it has been used extensively for commuting or long-distance driving.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 83% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to headlamps and fluid leaks.
