2012 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · CV62 OAY

The 2012 Volkswagen Polo presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 July 2025 at 146,199 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, with every annual test ultimately resulting in a pass and no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any stage. The repeated pass-fail-pass pattern within single days in 2024 and 2025 shows administrative re-tests rather than worsening condition. Recorded mileage rose from 124,418 at the 1 August 2023 test to 135,654 on 1 August 2024, then to 146,199 by 18 July 2025. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 11,500 miles per year, consistent with the 10,443 annual average for a 14-year-old car of this type. The data is sparse but clean, with no gaps exceeding thirteen months and no sudden accumulation suggesting hard use or commercial mileage. The DVSA record flags no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns across the three-year span. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, given the vehicle's age and 146,199 miles of service. Verify the 18 July 2025 pass certificate matches the failure entry logged the same day, confirming the rectification was clerical and not a concealed defect.
