2015 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · CA15 YEC

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2 October 2025 at 38,542 miles, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the preceding failure on 23 September 2025 revealed minor defects—a near‑side mirror impairment, ineffective front wiper and off‑side rear tyre perishing—that were corrected before the subsequent pass, indicating a modest improvement rather than a worsening trend. Mileage has climbed from 3,059 miles recorded in June 2021 to 38,542 miles by October 2025, with the steepest increases occurring between June 2022 (17,120 miles) and April 2023 (27,758 miles) and again from September 2024 (33,818 miles) to September 2025 (38,453 miles), reflecting accelerated usage in recent years despite the vehicle’s 11‑year age and earlier low annual mileage. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear or binding that could cause the recurring off‑side rear tyre perishing, verify the condition of the brake calipers and discs for any binding or excessive wear, and examine the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for corrosion or damage that may have contributed to the tyre and mirror defects.
