2009 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · EP06 ASH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 September 2025 at 123,749 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test within mere miles of a successful result, suggesting that minor adjustments or consumable-related issues are addressed only upon failure rather than through preventative maintenance. At 17 years old, the recorded 123,749 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 7,279 miles. This low mileage aligns with typical light use for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 12,300 miles covered between August 2023 and October 2024, and another 15,500 miles covered between October 2024 and September 2025. This regular movement suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of the rubber seals and mechanical components. While the history shows no recurring recorded advisories or defects, the repeated failures at 108,198 miles and 123,741 miles indicate that the vehicle is sensitive to minor defects such as bulbs, wiper blades, or slight fluid leaks. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on structural integrity, particularly the sills and wheel arches, as these are common failure points for this generation of Polo. Given the age, checking the suspension bushes and brake lines for perish is also essential, despite the clean MOT result sheets.
