2019 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · DS19 NHT

This 2019 Volkswagen Polo has a relatively clean MOT history, though the most recent inspection in October 2025 shows a new advisory for light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be slightly worsening. While the 2023 and 2024 inspections were largely clear, the history shows a pattern of wear on consumables such as brake pads, discs, and tyres in earlier years, followed by the recent suspension issue. This suggests that while the car is being maintained, components are beginning to reach the end of their service life as the vehicle ages. The recorded mileage of 66,938 miles is roughly 9,500 miles per year, which is typical for a seven-year-old car. This level of usage suggests the vehicle has not been excessively driven nor left sitting for long periods, meaning wear on components like brakes and suspension should be consistent with its age. The most recent advisory regarding the shock absorber is a minor issue, but it indicates the beginning of a potential suspension leak. You should inspect the nearside front suspension area for any signs of significant oil weeping and check the overall condition of the tyres and brake components to ensure they have been replaced following the previous advisories.
