2013 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Diesel · CV63 NXC

The 2013 Volkswagen Polo presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 118,532 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 5 September 2024 at 115,098 miles. The maintenance history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the five-year record, indicating consistent upkeep by previous keepers. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 9,118 miles per year. The tester logged 111,293 miles on 31 August 2023, rising to 109,252 by 7 September 2022 then 115,098 by September 2024, and 118,532 by September 2025. The annual increments stay between 2,000 and 4,000 miles with no sudden accumulation or long dormant gaps, suggesting steady private use rather than fleet or high-stress driving. One anomaly appears in the September 2024 record: a failed test at 115,089 miles on the same date as the pass at 115,098 miles, with no defects listed. This points to an administrative or data-entry error at the test centre rather than a genuine mechanical fault, as the subsequent pass shows the car compliant. The clean sheet across all tests means no suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion issues were flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and consumable items not captured by MOT pass criteria. Verify underbody condition for rust, check suspension bushes for age-related perishing, and measure brake disc wear given the car's mileage. The absence of advisories implies previous owners addressed wear proactively, but at 118,532 miles expect tyres, wiper blades, and dampers to be near replacement regardless of test outcomes.
