2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · CV18 MWJ

The 2018 Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 April 2025 at 66,879 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no advisories or failures across its four-year MOT history, indicating consistent mechanical condition with no worsening faults. Mileage accumulation sits at typical levels for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 39,413 miles at the 11 April 2022 test, rising to 46,597 by 31 March 2023, then 57,227 on 26 March 2024, and 66,879 in April 2025. Annual use averaged roughly 8,800 to 9,600 miles with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps. The clean pass sheet at each interval suggests the previous keeper kept basic servicing and consumable checks in order. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The MOT only samples roadworthy condition on the test day and does not certify suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc thickness between visits. Given the car is now past eight years old, examine subframe and sill areas for corrosion, check tyre sidewalls and tread for age cracking, and confirm the braking system is free of binding calipers. No recurring defects appear in the data to imply neglected components. The absence of advisories across four tests points to a caretaker owner rather than deferred work. Treat the clean history as a sound baseline, not a substitute for a pre-purchase mechanical check.
