2015 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Petrol · CC04 ROD

The 2025‑11‑14 MOT at 69,977 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy. However, the maintenance trend over the past five years shows recurring rear brake pad wear and a structural bonnet fault, indicating that the condition has not improved and remains subject to periodic corrective work. The mileage profile aligns with the vehicle’s 11‑year age, averaging about 6,360 miles per year. Mileage rose from 33,669 miles in early 2018 to 69,977 miles by late 2025, with the most recent 3‑mile increase between the 2025‑11‑13 and 2025‑11‑14 tests suggesting regular use. No extended periods of low mileage are evident, and the acceleration from 64,126 miles in 2024 to 69,977 miles in 2025 reflects a steady accumulation rather than abrupt usage spikes. A buyer should therefore prioritize inspection of the rear braking system, including pad thickness, disc condition and caliper binding, as well as the bonnet latch mechanism to verify secure closure. Additional focus on suspension components such as bushes and coil springs, structural rust on the chassis and wheel arches, headlamp aim and levelling device operation, and overall tyre wear will address the recurring advisories noted in the MOT history. While the latest test clears the car for immediate use, the pattern of brake wear and structural advisories warrants a thorough physical examination to confirm that remedial work has been carried out and that no underlying corrosion or suspension degradation compromises long‑term durability.
