2009 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · AF09 WKN

The 2009 Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 July 2025 at 60,810 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 8 July 2024 at 58,039 miles also passed clean. The vehicle shows no escalating faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 60,810 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 3,577 miles per year. The history shows steady low annual use: 54,150 miles on 22 May 2023, 50,156 on 9 May 2022, and 58,039 by July 2024. A duplicate entry exists for 9 May 2022 where the car first failed then passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects logged, indicating a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. No gaps or rapid accumulation appear in the data. Given the clean MOT record, the buyer should still verify in person the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as low-mileage cars left standing can develop perished rubber components and surface corrosion unseen in a pass result. Inspect underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions hardware for rust, particularly around subframes and sills. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible despite the fault-free history. The low use pattern suggests light upkeep rather than neglect, but standing time can hide binding calipers or degraded tyres not captured by the annual test.
