2021 Volkswagen Polo Match TSI 1.0L Petrol · CX21 RRO

The Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 February 2026 at 25,986 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date at 25,984 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior passes on 12 March 2025 at 23,030 miles and 20 February 2024 at 17,911 miles also carried no advisories, showing a clean five-year MOT profile with no recurring wear items or structural concerns flagged. The recorded mileage of 25,986 at five years old equates to roughly 5,200 miles per annum, which is low for the age and suggests light use or extended standing periods. The jump from 17,911 miles in February 2024 to 23,030 miles in March 2025 added about 5,100 miles over thirteen months, then a further 2,956 miles to February 2026. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear in the data, and the sparse clean record gives little basis to question odometer integrity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and likely periods of inactivity, as standing vehicles can develop perished rubbers or surface corrosion unseen in a pass-only history. The absence of advisories on tyres, wiper blades, or exhaust emissions across all tests implies basic consumables were maintained, but the February 2026 fail with no defects recorded warrants confirmation that the V5C and test certificate align before purchase.
