2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · DA14 XRB

The 2014 Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 69,249 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or mechanical degradation across the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical class averages at roughly 5,771 miles per year. The tester logged 49,455 miles on 1 October 2021, rising to 52,330 by 4 October 2022, 55,553 on 20 October 2023, 62,617 on 15 October 2024, and 69,249 on 14 October 2025. The yearly increments hold tight between 3,000 and 7,100 miles with no gaps or sudden accumulation. Such low, consistent use implies careful short-distance ownership rather than neglect, though standing periods can still permit corrosion or perished rubber unseen in a pass result. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points to confirm no structural rust has developed during idle spells. The clean record means no worn coil springs, binding calipers, or failing brake discs were flagged, yet tyres, wiper blades, and suspension bushes remain consumables the test may not have caught at failure threshold. Given the 14-month lapse since the last test, verify current tread depth and fluid condition before purchase.
