2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · DX14 EFD

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 18 September 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car met all minimum legal requirements at that time. A failure occurred just one day prior on 17 September 2025 at 49,093 miles, though the record lists no specific defects, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue rectified immediately. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,091 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 40,412 miles and the September 2025 test at 49,094 miles, the car covered 10,682 miles. This recent increase suggests a shift in usage patterns compared to the previous decade of ownership. The absence of advisories across the last three tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a high standard of care or very light duty. However, low mileage often masks issues related to stagnation. A buyer should specifically check for perishing rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can degrade regardless of distance travelled. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as brakes on low-mileage cars often suffer from lack of use. Given the age of the Polo, a physical check for structural corrosion on the underbody is recommended, as the MOT record provides no evidence of previous rust advisories to indicate the chassis condition.
