2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · DU18 AEW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record across the most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted on 8 August 2025 at 54,263 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to required standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 26,960 miles and the August 2024 test at 44,497 miles, the car covered 17,537 miles, showing a slight spike in usage compared to earlier years. However, the subsequent interval of 9,766 miles between August 2024 and August 2025 indicates a return to lower mileage habits, which generally prevents excessive wear on drivetrain components. The only anomaly in the provided history occurred on 28 July 2023 at 36,170 miles, where the vehicle failed just one day before a successful pass. While the specific reason for this failure is not detailed in the summary, the immediate rectification and subsequent clean records suggest a minor component failure was addressed quickly. Because there are no recurring advisories for suspension bushes, brake corrosion, or structural rust in the recorded history, a buyer should focus a standard physical inspection on the rubber components and brake pads to ensure no new wear has developed since the last test.
