2018 VOLKSWAGEN POLO2.0L Petrol

The vehicle achieved a PASS on the most recent MOT of 20 April 2026 at 75 423 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness profile. The 2021 test had flagged tyre wear and rear‑tyre damage, but those advisories have not reappeared in the four subsequent annual examinations, suggesting the maintenance trend has moved from a minor issue to a clean record. Overall the car remains roadworthy with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. Mileage accumulation shows a steady increase from 25 113 miles in July 2021 to 75 423 miles in April 2026, a rise of roughly 50 310 miles over five years, or about 10 060 miles per year. This rate is slightly above the typical 9 400 miles annual average for an eight‑year‑old vehicle, indicating moderate usage. MOT tests have been performed annually without noticeable gaps, providing a consistent data set that reflects regular compliance checks. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyres closely, paying particular attention to tread depth on the front tyres and any cracking or perishing on the rear tyres, as the 2021 advisories highlight a vulnerability in those components. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for wear, as higher annual mileage can accelerate bush degradation. Brake discs and calipers merit a careful check for corrosion or binding, while a thorough under‑body scan is advisable to assess any rust encroaching on structural panels, given the vehicle’s age and mileage.
