2009 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · DA58 GGX

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-09-18 MOT at 95,873 miles. Previous tests from 2024-09-21 (93,877 miles) and 2023-09-05 (92,914 miles) also passed without issues, despite an apparent duplicate entry for the same date and mileage. The absence of advisories or failures over this period suggests consistent maintenance, though the low mileage of 5,640 annual miles raises questions about usage patterns. The mileage progression shows a steady increase, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps. From 92,102 miles in 2022-06-29 to 95,873 miles in 2025-09-18, the car has accumulated 3,771 miles over 3 years, aligning with the average annual figure. This suggests regular, light usage but does not confirm whether the vehicle was stored for extended periods. The clean MOT history through 2023-09-05, despite the duplicate failure entry, indicates no systemic mechanical decline. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as worn bushes or coil springs, which are common in 17-year-old vehicles. Inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, as low mileage can sometimes mask underlying issues. Check for corrosion in body panels, particularly around door frames and underbody areas, as prolonged inactivity may accelerate rust. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate these risks, as MOT tests focus on visible and functional elements rather than hidden structural faults.
