2017 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Diesel · AF67 SWK

The Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 10 December 2025 at 118,682 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, though the record shows two failed tests immediately preceding passes on the same dates, both with no defects logged. This pattern indicates administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical deterioration, and the vehicle has cleared every examination once submitted for the final pass. Mileage stands at 118,682 against a 2017 build, averaging roughly 13,187 miles per year, which is high for the age and points to sustained commuter or business use. The records show 84,615 miles on 29 November 2023, rising to 102,507 at the 6 November 2024 failure and 102,509 at the same-day pass, then 118,682 by 8 and 10 December 2025. Annual accumulation ran near 18,000 miles between 2023 and 2024 before easing to about 16,000 over the following year. The data is sparse, with only three test years captured and no advisories or faults listed at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the elevated mileage and nine-year age. The clean MOT sheet offers no evidence of corrosion or structural concern, yet testers recorded no advisories even at 102,507 miles, which is unusual for a high-use car and may reflect lenient assessment rather than perfect condition. Verify the two same-day fail-pass pairs on 6 November 2024 and 8 to 10 December 2025 with the DVSA to confirm they were clerical reversals and not concealed rectification. Absent any flagged defects, focus physical checks on consumables: tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions under load, alongside a visual check of subframe and sills for incipient rust.
