2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Diesel · 857 HMP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a highly positive maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in April 2026 at 85,586 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2023 and 2025, suggesting that the previous owners were proactive in addressing mechanical requirements before they escalated into recurring test failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,132 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2026, the car covered 21,163 miles, showing a steady rate of usage. A brief anomaly occurred in April 2024 when the vehicle failed the test at 74,923 miles but passed successfully just three days later at 74,955 miles. This rapid re-test suggests a minor consumable item or sensor, such as a bulb replacement or a minor adjustment, was rectified immediately without any deeper mechanical failure flagged by the tester. While the digital record is clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to age-related degradation rather than high-mile wear. Given the 85,000-mile mark, inspect the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or tearing, as these often perish over a decade regardless of mileage. Check the brake brake discs for surface corrosion and examine the underside for early signs of structural rust to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the lack of recorded advisories.
