2009 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · AJ59 JSZ

The 2009 Volkswagen Polo presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 17,477 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend is stable across the full five-year MOT span. Every annual examination from 2021 through 2025 returned a pass with no advisories or faults raised by the tester. Recorded mileage sits at 17,477 miles against an approximate 17-year age, equating to roughly 1,028 miles per year. The Polo gained only 870 miles between the 2024 test (16,607 miles) and the 2025 test, and 1,425 miles across the 2023 to 2024 period. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data; the clean record shows sparse but consistent annual use with no lapsed entries. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's low annual mileage and likely prolonged standing periods. Dormant storage accelerates perishing of rubber components and surface corrosion on structural members even when MOT tests show no active defects. The absence of recorded advisories means no recurring mechanical trend requires monitoring. Prospective owners should verify underbody structural integrity and check for seized calipers or flat-spotted tyres caused by extended idle storage rather than road wear.
