2004 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Diesel · CT04 FGD

The 2004 Volkswagen Polo presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 4 September 2023 at 154,389 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. A second pass on the same date at identical mileage confirms the vehicle cleared its annual examination without outstanding advisories. The history shows no worsening mechanical faults across the supplied entries. Mileage sits at 154,389 as of the September 2023 test, equating to roughly 7,018 miles per year against the car's 22-year life, a typical accumulation for this age of vehicle. The record moves from 140,740 miles on 31 July 2021 to 147,440 on 13 September 2022, then to 154,211 on 31 August 2023 before the September passes. A gap of over thirteen months between the 2021 and 2022 tests suggests the car may have seen limited use or delayed servicing in that period. The data is otherwise sparse and clean, with no advisories logged at any stage. The August 2023 failure at 154,211 miles carries no recorded defects, implying an administrative or emissions-test anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed cleanly three days later. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, calipers, or corrosion entries, the MOT record alone reveals no serious structural or mechanical risks. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common Polo wear points at this mileage, specifically front coil springs, track-rod ends, and underbody structural integrity for rust. The clean advisory history may reflect genuine care or simply lenient testing; verify brake pad thickness, exhaust condition, and tyre sidewall ageing in person before purchase.
