2010 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Diesel · CT60 ABU

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 100,814 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed its tests in both September 2024 and October 2025, the immediate passes and the absence of listed defects suggest these were likely minor administrative or quick-fix issues rather than systemic mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It has covered approximately 12,759 miles between September 2023 and October 2025, averaging roughly 6,300 miles per year. This steady usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The MOT history is unusually clean for a sixteen year old vehicle, showing no recorded advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear across multiple years. This lack of documented wear on consumables is atypical for a car exceeding 100,000 miles. A buyer should therefore pay close attention to the underside for structural rust and check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these critical maintenance items are not captured in MOT records. Given the absence of flagged faults, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the clutch and the smoothness of the gear changes. Checking for oil leaks around the engine bay and verifying the depth of the tyre treads will confirm if the previous owner maintained the vehicle to the high standard implied by the clean MOT certificates.
