2022 Volkswagen Polo Style TSI 1.0L Petrol · 2 OCG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on November 25, 2025. The maintenance trend shows a reactive approach to mechanical faults, as the car failed just one day prior due to a serious suspension leak and tyre issues. While the immediate pass indicates the rear shock absorber and tyres were addressed, the proximity of the failure and pass suggests that the previous owner only rectified these defects when they threatened the legal test status. At 21,157 miles over four years, this Polo has averaged approximately 5,289 miles per year. This figure is significantly below the national average, suggesting light urban use or potentially long periods of inactivity. However, such low mileage can sometimes mask the accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake components caused by sitting. The record shows no significant gaps in mileage between the most recent tests, indicating consistent but low-volume usage patterns for the vehicle. A buyer must physically verify the replacement of the nearside rear shock absorber to ensure the leak has not resulted in secondary damage to the suspension mounting points. The fact that both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit during the November 2025 test indicates a potential alignment issue or uneven wear pattern that warrants a professional inspection of the geometry. You should also check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust if the rotors are not used frequently.
