2017 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · YM17 AAU

The vehicle is in a stable condition with a clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT on 28 April 2025 at 34,659 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a nine year old car, averaging roughly 3,851 miles per year. Between 30 May 2023 and 28 April 2025, the vehicle covered 7,345 miles, showing a steady but light usage pattern. The only irregularity in the record is a failure on 5 May 2023 at 27,258 miles, which was resolved and passed one week later on 12 May 2023. The lack of recorded defects during that failure is unusual but suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a significant mechanical breakdown. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories, there are no specific recurring faults like suspension bush wear or brake disc corrosion to flag. However, the low mileage suggests the car may have spent long periods stationary. A buyer should personally check for signs of perished rubber components, tyre flat-spotting, and potential battery degradation. Check the brake calipers for seizing and the tyres for age-related cracking, as these often degrade due to lack of use rather than wear. Since the record shows no structural corrosion or exhaust leaks, the primary focus should be on verifying that the low mileage has not led to fluid stagnation or dormant mechanical issues.
