2021 Volkswagen Polo Active TSI 1.0L Petrol · CJ71 SWX

The Volkswagen Polo Active TSI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVLA MOT test on 1 June 2026 at 18,649 miles which recorded a pass with no defects. Prior tests on 10 September 2025 at 15,682 miles and 2 September 2024 at 11,289 miles also passed with no advisories or faults. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition across its three-year test history. The recorded mileage of 18,649 at five years of age equates to roughly 3,730 miles per year, a low figure for a 2021 hatchback. The annual increments are consistent: 4,393 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, then 2,967 miles to the 2026 test. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear in the data. The clean record across all entries suggests either light commuting use or infrequent operation, with no consumable neglect flagged by testers. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the MOT history alone reveals no recurring faults requiring follow-up. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for hidden corrosion and check brake caliper operation, as low-mileage cars often suffer from seized handbrake mechanisms and flat-spotted tyres through prolonged standing. Verify service history to confirm oil changes kept pace with time rather than mileage.
