Our Verdict
A surprisingly low-mileage modern classicclassic that offers potential but requires immediate attention to maintenance. While the mileage is impressive, recent MOT failures and recurring oil leaks suggest it has been neglected in later years.
When inspecting this Polo, your priority should be the service history. Given the low mileage, ensure the oil has been changed annually rather than just based on distance, as old oil can degrade over time. Pay close attention to the recurring oil leak advisories which have appeared in records as far back as 2018, 2022, and 2025; you should ask if the head gasket or rocker cover has been addressed.
Check the mechanical state of the tyres. The most recent 2026 MOT showed both front tyres were worn to the legal limit and on the edges, suggesting a lack of recent preventative maintenance. Test the rear nearside door thoroughly, as it was a major failure in May 2026 due to being unable to be opened from the outside.
