2012 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · AV62 FNF

This Volkswagen Polo presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 19 November 2025 at 95,521 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets all legal safety requirements. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,823 miles per year. The distance covered between the November 2023 test at 87,233 miles and the November 2025 test at 95,521 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 4,100 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The MOT record is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, showing no advisories for common wear items such as brake discs, suspension bushes, or tyre tread. While the records indicate failures on 29 November 2023 and 18 November 2024, these were resolved on the same day with no specific defects listed in the final pass data. This suggests the failures were likely administrative or minor issues corrected immediately. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the state of the chassis or structural integrity beyond the pass result. Checking the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacements is essential, as the MOT only confirms roadworthiness and not the long term mechanical health of the engine or drivetrain.
