2009 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Diesel · DV09 WYP

The 2009 Volkswagen Polo's roadworthiness status appears stable based on the most recent MOT test on 2026-05-29 at 112,086 miles, where it passed with a minor advisory for the offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. This suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no major defects recorded in recent years. The mileage pattern of the vehicle is roughly typical for its age, with 112,086 miles accumulated over 17 years, averaging approximately 6,593 miles per year. The mileage history shows consistent annual increments: between 2023-04-19 and 2024-04-19, the mileage increased from 97,411 to 102,413 miles, a gain of 5,002 miles; from 2024-04-19 to 2025-04-24, it increased to 107,556 miles, a gain of 5,143 miles; and from 2025-04-24 to 2026-05-29, the mileage rose to 112,086 miles, a gain of 4,530 miles. These increments suggest steady usage without any notable gaps or rapid accumulation. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's braking system, as the 2025 tests flagged concerns with the parking brake efficiency, indicating potential need for adjustment or repair. The recurring tyre wear issues, noted in multiple tests, suggest that tyre condition and alignment should be checked. Additionally, the offside front track rod end ball joint with slight play, recorded in the 2024 test, warrants further examination to ensure it hasn't worsened. The absence of any major structural or mechanical issues in the MOT history is reassuring; however, it is essential to verify the vehicle's condition in person, paying attention to these recurring faults and components. A thorough inspection of the suspension, brakes, and tyres will provide a clearer understanding of the vehicle's overall condition and potential maintenance needs.
