2015 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Diesel · DL15 OHG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 23 August 2025 at 100,860 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and emissions standards. While a failure was noted earlier in October 2024, the subsequent pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying the identified faults immediately to maintain legal compliance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a small hatchback, averaging approximately 9,169 miles per year over its eleven-year life. Between October 2022 at 70,267 miles and September 2023 at 83,551 miles, the vehicle covered over 13,000 miles, showing a period of higher-than-average use. However, the rate has since stabilised, with the intervals between the most recent tests suggesting regular operating patterns which helps prevent the mechanical degradation often associated with long periods of standing. Given the clean results of the two latest tests, a physical inspection should focus on the components that likely caused the October 2024 failure, as the specific defect was not detailed in the summary. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on vehicles approaching the 100,000-mile mark. Checking for surface corrosion on the exhaust system and inspecting the thickness of the brake discs is also advisable to ensure that no rapid structural wear has developed as the vehicle continues beyond beyond 100,000 miles.
