2022 Volkswagen Polo Life TSI S-A 1.0L Petrol · AF72 VAH

The Volkswagen Polo Life TSI S-A presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 20 April 2026 at 36,708 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and clean across the available history. A prior failure on the same date at identical mileage is anomalous; DVSA logged no defects against that test, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The April 2025 pass at 33,225 miles also carried no advisories. Mileage accumulation is moderate for a four-year-old car. The record shows 33,225 miles at the April 2025 test and 36,708 miles by April 2026, a gain of 3,483 miles over twelve months. That equates to roughly 9,177 miles per year since registration, within typical use for the model. The history is sparse, with only three entries, so long-term wear patterns on consumables and drivetrain cannot be fully judged from the data alone. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across both passes suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. No recurring faults appear, and no structural or mechanical risks are flagged in the official record. The same-day fail with no defects implies the owner resolved a non-technical issue promptly to secure the pass. A buyer should still verify in person that the April 2026 failure was purely administrative, not a masked defect. Inspect tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody for early corrosion given the car's age. Confirm service history matches the low annual mileage, as standing periods can degrade seals and brake components despite clean MOT results.
