2016 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Diesel · CE66 GXW

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following a period of mechanical attention. The most recent test in November 2025 at 49,308 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a perishing offside rear tyre. This follows two years of clean passes in 2023 and 2024, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in late 2022 have been successfully addressed and rectified. At 49,308 miles over ten years, this Polo reflects significantly below average mileage, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests. This low annual mileage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the November 2022 failure at 34,883 miles identified worn suspension arm bushes on both sides. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests without these faults, suspension components can age and crack regardless of mileage. The buyer should also verify the condition of the front brakes, as the record noted thin pads during the same 2022 failure. The perishing offside rear tyre mentioned in the latest test should be checked for deep sidew-all cracking, as this is common on low-mileage vehicles that have aged in place.
