2015 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · AP64 ABO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of reactive maintenance. The most recent MOT test on 28 August 2025 at 60,597 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This follows a failure in the September 2024 test where a pitted offside rear brake disc was flagged, suggesting the owner monitors components as they approach inspection limits. The mileage history is consistently low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage patterns, such as the 3,000-mile interval covered between September 2023 and September 2024. However, there is a notable gap between January 2021 and September 2021 where only 770 miles were driven in eight months. This low annual mileage suggests periods of inactivity, which can sometimes lead to flat spots on tyres or fluid degradation despite the lack of overall mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the history shows recurring issues with worn or scored brake discs in 2020 and 2024. The failure in September 2023 regarding parking brake efficiency at 54,792 miles indicates that the handbrake mechanism may require frequent adjustment or inspection. Additionally, given the history of edge-worn front tyres in 2019 and 2020, the current tyres should be checked for uneven wear patterns which would indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes.
