2004 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Petrol · AV54 PBZ

The 2025-11-11 MOT at 89,682 miles passed with no defects, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy and indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2022 through 2024 also recorded clean results, with no defects noted at any mileage checkpoint. The recorded mileage of 89,682 miles over 22 years averages just over 4,000 miles per year, a figure that is low for a car of this age and suggests periods of limited use or extended storage. Mileage increments were modest, rising from 75,283 miles in September 2022 to 79,115 miles in September 2023, then to 84,819 miles in November 2024 and finally to 89,682 miles in November 2025, showing a gradual increase without any abrupt spikes, despite a 2022 failure that recorded no defects. A buyer should therefore examine suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and look for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis, as these components commonly show signs of age even when MOT records list no defects. Checking tyre tread depth, exhaust integrity and the condition of the underbody will complete a thorough assessment.
