2017 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · DS17 NLO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 July 2026 at 64,333 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates an improving maintenance trend following a period of mechanical wear noted in 2024. The clean results in 2025 and 2026 suggest that the current owner addressed previous concerns and is maintaining the vehicle effectively. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,148 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression of use, moving from 29,513 miles in August 2020 to 64,333 miles by 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest the car has been left to sit for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber components and fluid-relatedrelated degradation often seen with low-mileage idling. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The July 2024 test at 52,836 miles flagged pitted front brake discs and worn both nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes. While these passed in subsequent tests, a physical check should verify that there is no residual play in the arms and that the brake surfaces remain free of scoring. Additionally, the history of tyre-related defects in 2021 and 2023 suggests a thorough check of current tread depth and alignment is necessary to ensure no uneven wear.
