2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · AF64 LVA

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 2 December 2025 at 80,931 miles with no recorded defects. While the maintenance trend appears stable, the history shows a pattern of immediate rectification following failures. The transition from a failed test in late November 2025 to a pass just four days later suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing MOT failures only when prompted by the testing centre, rather than following a rigorous preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the car covered 9,253 miles, indicating a period of higher usage. The more recent interval shows 7,914 miles covered between November 2024 and December 2025, which represents a steady and predictable usage rate. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain components, though it increases the risk of rubber components and seals degrading due to age rather than distance of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that triggered the previous failures, although the record does not detail the mechanical nature of those specific faults. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of structural integrity around the sills and wheel arches is essential to ensure surface corrosion has not progressed into perforation. One should also inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the brake calipers for binding, as these components often age poorly on low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods.
