2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · CK18 LRU

This Volkswagen Polo presents a stable and exceptionally clean maintenance profile. The most recent MOT on 13 June 2025 at 65,649 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for an eight year old vehicle. The distance increased by 13,183 miles between March 2023 and June 2024, followed by a further 13,183 miles leading up to the June 2025 test. This steady pattern indicates the car has been in regular use rather than sitting idle, which generally helps preserve rubber seals and battery health. The absence of any advisories or failures across five years of testing is uncommon and suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance by the previous owners. There are no recurring trends of wear regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. The vehicle has avoided the common pitfalls of corrosion or structural integrity issues often seen in city cars of this vintage. A physical inspection should focus on standard consumables that the MOT may not flag as critical until they reach a limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the clean record implies these may be nearing the end of their natural life cycle given the current mileage. Verify the service history stamps to ensure oil changes align with the mileage growth seen between 2022 and 2025.
