Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
When viewing this vehicle, prioritize checking the service history to see if the suspension components and braking system have been addressed following the 2025 and 2026 MOT failures. Specifically, ask for documentation regarding the replacement of the suspension arm pins/bushes and the parking brake mechanism.
Negotiate on the price based on the recent tyre wear issues noted in the January 2026 test. You should also verify if the exhaust Lambda reading issue noted in the 2026 failure was rectified with a sensor replacement or an engine tune-up, as this can impact fuel economy and emissions.
The 999cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a low insurance group and tax band, making it an economical choice for urban driving. However, the high mileage (nearly 100,000 miles) may lead to more frequent maintenance requirements for wear-and-tear items like clutches or timing belts.
Estimated annual running costs typically include fuel, tax, insurance, and a budget for maintenance. Given the recent MOT failures, you should budget more heavily for suspension and tyre replacements in the first year of ownership.
A thorough inspection of the suspension is vital. The MOT history shows repeated failures for 'suspension arm pin or bush worn' in both 2025 and 2026. Check for any knocking or clunking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces.
Additionally, test the parking brake thoroughly, as it failed efficiency requirements in both 2025 and 2026. Inspect the tyres; the most recent MOT recorded three tyres worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, which could indicate an alignment issue. Finally, check the operation of the windscreen wipers and washer fluid system to ensure the 2025 failure points have been resolved.
This blue 1.0L petrol Polo has covered 99,069 miles since its first registration in September 2014. While it had a clean MOT in 2024 at 61,912 miles, the subsequent two years have seen multiple failures relating to suspension bushes, tyre wear, and parking brake efficiency. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,004 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.3%, with common failures involving tyres, engine management, and ball joints.
