2012 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · CU64 FZS

The Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 14 April 2026 at 20,228 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the supplied record. The tester recorded no defects at that test. One day earlier, on 13 April 2026 at the same mileage, the vehicle failed the MOT yet the record shows no defects listed; this suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven failure, and the immediate pass confirms the car cleared the test without outstanding advisories. At 14 years old the Polo shows remarkably low use, with 20,228 miles recorded against an average of roughly 1,445 miles per year. The history reveals a mileage drop between tests: the April 2025 pass at 24,652 miles sits 4,424 miles above the April 2026 figure of 20,228 miles. Such a reversal points to either a data recording anomaly or a period of minimal running with possible clocking concerns; the sparse three-entry record gives no advisories to indicate wear on consumables, suspension bushes, or brake discs across that span. A buyer should physically verify the odometer against service stamps and V5C to explain the falling mileage, since the DVSA data alone cannot confirm legitimacy. With no advisories on corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity across the tests, the chassis and mechanicals show no flagged risk in the record. Given the car's likely long standing periods from low annual use, inspect tyres for sidewall cracking, check brake calipers for binding after storage, and confirm suspension components have not degraded through inactivity. The clean MOT trail implies basic upkeep was maintained, but in-person checks on worn rubbers and fluid condition remain prudent before purchase.
