2013 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · CV63 NFN

The 2013 Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 February 2026 at 95,757 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from March 2023 to March 2025 also passed cleanly. The only anomaly is a failed test logged on 5 March 2024 at 84,116 miles with no defects recorded, which points to an administrative or data-entry irregularity rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a 13-year-old car, averaging around 7,366 miles per year. The record shows 77,654 miles in March 2023, 84,116 in March 2024, 90,270 in March 2025, and 95,757 in February 2026. Annual gains stayed between roughly 6,000 and 7,500 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant periods. The MOT history is sparse on advisories, showing no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. The absence of advisories across four years suggests the previous owner kept basic upkeep current, but the 2024 fail with zero defects warrants confirmation that no suppressed fault exists in DVSA systems. Given the car's age, examine front coil springs, subframe corrosion, and brake disc thickness in person. Check for undertray damage and verify the timing belt interval, as the Polo's age exceeds typical replacement cycles regardless of mileage. The clean MOT trend reduces risk, yet 13 years of use can hide perished rubber mounts or binding calipers not caught in a roadside test.
