Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
While the MOT history is clean, these records do not confirm the service history. You should request the service book to ensure oil changes and inspections have been carried out according to the manufacturer's schedule. Negotiate based on the presence of a full service history, as this adds significant value to a low-mileage example.
Check that the vehicle has been used regularly; very low mileage can sometimes lead to battery degradation or perished tyres if the car has sat idle for long periods. Ensure all electronics and the infotainment system are functioning as expected for a 2021 model.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it an economical choice for urban driving. As a Euro 6 AP vehicle, it is compliant with the latest emissions zones, including London's ULEZ, avoiding daily charges.
Insurance costs are typically low for this engine size and model. Maintenance costs for the Polo are generally predictable, though you should budget for standard consumables. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is approximately £900-£1,200.
Although this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, you should inspect the tyres for uneven wear or cracking, as tyres are a top failure reason for this model. Check the suspension components, specifically the ball joints, for any signs of play or noise when turning, as these are known weak points across the wider Polo population.
Perform a quick check of the dashboard during startup to ensure the engine management light (MIL) illuminates and then extinguishes, as inoperative MILs are a common MOT failure point for this model. Finally, inspect the red paintwork for any minor stone chips or scratches consistent with its age.
This red 2021 Volkswagen Polo has covered 13,611 miles as of its most recent MOT in September 2025. It has passed its last two MOT tests without any defects or advisories recorded. With mileage significantly below the model average, it presents a clean history for a Euro 6 AP petrol vehicle.
The Volkswagen Polo has an average MOT pass rate of 77.3% based on an analysis of 671,964 vehicles.
