2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · AP18 ACZ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 15 May 2025 at 47,229 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a period of clean passes in the previous years, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and does not suffer from developing mechanical or structural issues that require immediate attention. At 47,229 miles over eight years, the Polo has averaged approximately 5,900 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a petrol car. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a gap of 10,595 miles between May 2022 and May 2023, and another 9,019 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests. The single failure on 26 May 2023 at 33,860 miles, followed immediately by a pass just one mile later, indicates a minor issue that was rectified promptly without becoming a recurring fault. While the history is remarkably clean of recurring advisories regarding corrosion or suspension wear, the low mileage suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyres, for cracking, as these can degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Since there are no flagged binding calipers or worn brake components in the records, the braking system appears to be in good condition, but a physical check of the discs for pitting remains advisable given the age of the vehicle.
