2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · CK64 FTJ

The Volkswagen Polo’s most recent MOT test on January 6, 2026, at 80,461 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no recorded defects. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the past two years, as all tests since March 2024 have passed without advisories or failures. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been consistently maintained, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-stress components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain joints, which are not routinely inspected during MOTs. The recorded mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 6,700 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in mileage, though the 2024 test date appears duplicated—likely an administrative error—with both entries at 58,533 miles. The most recent test occurred just six months ago, which is well within the DVSA’s recommended interval for regular checks, though buyers should verify if the vehicle has undergone any non-MOT servicing since then. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points at this mileage. The brakes, including caliper binding and disc thickness, should also be checked, despite no past failures—wear can develop between tests. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants attention, as corrosion is often overlooked until it compromises safety. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or damage, as emissions-related failures are not always captured in MOT records.
