2007 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Diesel · CV07 RZG

The 2007 Volkswagen Polo currently holds a failed MOT status from the 11 September 2025 test at 175,478 miles, with the DVSA record showing no defects logged against that failure. This leaves the vehicle unroadworthy as of the most recent examination and the maintenance trend cannot be judged as stable or improving on the basis of a clean pass, since the latest result is a refusal. The prior three pass results show no advisories, so the earlier history gave no warning of developing faults. Mileage has accumulated at a broadly typical rate for a nineteen-year-old car, around 9,200 miles per year. The record moves from 159,926 miles at the 12 September 2022 pass to 164,334 miles at the 16 September 2023 pass, then 170,493 miles in September 2024, and 175,478 miles in September 2025. The only anomaly is the 14 September 2023 failure logged at 165,190 miles, two days before a pass at a lower 164,334 miles; this suggests a data entry irregularity or a re-test under different mileage capture rather than genuine backwards clocking, but the buyer should verify the odometer integrity. Because the 2025 failure carries no recorded defects, the buyer must obtain the physical failure sheet or DVSA refusal reason before purchase. A clean advisory history across 2022 to 2024 means suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions and structural corrosion were not flagged, yet a nineteen-year-old Polo at 175,478 miles will likely show age-related wear unseen in the bare record. In person, the buyer should inspect for underbody rust, degraded suspension components, and brake caliper binding, and confirm the true cause of the September 2025 failure. The lack of advisories offers limited assurance, as the final test outcome overrides the earlier passes.
