2011 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Petrol · Y24 OGG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a minor lapse in proactive maintenance. While the Polo passed its MOT in October 2025 at 115,008 miles, it initially failed the test due to an improperly adjusted parking brake and excessive front tyre wear. The maintenance trend remained stable over the previous three years, but the recent failure suggests the owner may only address faults when prompted by a formal test failure rather than performing preventative checks. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. There are no significant gaps in the testing history; between the November 2022 and October 2024 tests, the car covered roughly 26,000 miles, showing steady use. The jump from 105,002 miles in late 2024 to 115,008 miles in late 2025 represents a standard usage rate that aligns with market expectations for a car of this age. A buyer should specifically inspect the parking brake system to ensure the excessive movement noted in 2025 was properly rectified and that the cable is not stretched or seizing. Given that both front tyres were flagged as worn on the edges during the last test, a check for wheel alignment issues or uneven worn suspension bushes is necessary. Considering the vehicle's age and mileage, a physical inspection of the chassis for corrosion on the sills and mounting points remains vital, although no structural advisories were recorded in the provided history.
