2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · AE14 USG

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend following a single failure in early 2022. The most recent test on 24 April 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows consecutive clean passes in March 2024 and April 2023, indicating that the immediate mechanical issues identified during the April 2022 failure have been resolved. The recorded mileage of 40,194 miles is low for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 3,350 miles per year. While the MOT records do not provide specific mileage increments for every individual year, the low annual usage suggests the vehicle has seen light use. Long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to issues with rubber components or fluid degradation, though the recent clean MOT results do not show any recorded failures related to these factors. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the vehicle's consumables and wear items. Although the recent records are clean, the low mileage profile means components like tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes may have aged due to time rather than distance. It is advisable to check for any signs of perished rubber or seized brake calipers, as these can occur on vehicles that are driven infrequently. The single failure recorded on 04 April 2022 is not detailed in the provided data, so verifying the nature of that specific defect during a physical inspection remains prudent. Beyond that, the current documentation shows no recurring issues with exhaust emissions, structural integrity, or lighting. buying_score: 75 risk_level: Low.
