2016 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · CF16 AET

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 March 2026 at 61,982 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2023, suggesting the car has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage is typical for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,198 miles per year. The accumulation of distance is steady and predictable, moving from 48,372 miles in September 2023 to 61,982 miles by March 2026. The record shows a brief anomaly on 17 March 2025 where the car failed and passed within two miles, though the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion over the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. It indicates a proactive approach to maintenance or very light duty cycles. There are no recurring faults to flag, and the lack of mentions regarding tyre tread or wiper blades suggests the previous owner did not neglect basic consumables. A physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of the chassis and underside for surface rust that may not have reached a failure threshold. You should also check the service history for evidence of oil changes and timing belt intervals, as the MOT record only confirms roadworthiness and does not document internal engine maintenance.
