2010 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · AP60 BJP

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 9 December 2025, which remains in force until December 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently passes its annual inspection following minor rectifications. While the vehicle failed its most recent test due to a perished anti-roll bar dust cover, this was promptly addressed to secure the pass. The absence of recurring structural or engine-related failures suggests that the mechanical health of the powertrain remains consistent for a vehicle of this age. With 71,782 miles recorded over sixteen years, the vehicle averages approximately 4,486 miles per annum, indicating light usage. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, with roughly 3,500 to 4,000 miles added between each annual inspection since 2023. This low-mileage profile is generally positive, though it necessitates a close inspection for issues related to long-term standing, such as seized brake components or degraded rubber seals that may not appear during a standard MOT assessment. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and tyre condition, as these areas have triggered multiple failures in recent years. The repeated issues with tyre wear and damage suggest the front-end geometry may require professional alignment to prevent uneven scrubbing. Inspect the anti-roll bar links and associated bushings for any signs of premature play or grease leakage, as these components are clearly susceptible to wear on this specific chassis. Given the age of the vehicle, verify that the timing belt has been replaced according to the manufacturer schedule, as low mileage does not exempt the car from the degradation of rubber drive components over time.
