2017 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · AX17 AUT

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent test conducted on 23 September 2025 at 62,701 miles resulted in no defects recorded, mirroring the clean results from the 2024 and 2023 inspections. This consistency suggests the current owner has maintained the mechanical and safety-critical components effectively, preventing recurring failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between October 2022 and September 2025, the car covered 12,341 miles, indicating steady, predictable driving rather than long periods of stationary or heavy commercial use. The gap in testing during 2020 is accounted for by the COVID-19 six-month extension, and the subsequent data shows a linear progression of mileage without any sudden spikes in wear patterns. A buyer should pay attention to the October 2021 test at 46,989 miles, where both the nearside and offside rear tyres were flagged for cracking or perishing. While the vehicle passed, this indicates that the rubber components suffered from age-related degradation despite the relatively low mileage. A physical inspection should verify the current tyres for similar sidewall cracking to ensure they have been replaced recently. The failure in 2020 regarding insufficient brake lever travel at 41,189 miles appears to have been an isolated incident, as no brake-related advisories have appeared in the following five tests. Since there is no history of structural corrosion, suspension bushing failures, or exhaust leaks in the recent clean records, the vehicle reflects a high standard of mechanical care.
