2016 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · EX66 JYV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 September 2025 at 110,717 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all legal safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred in late August 2024, the immediate pass on the following day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying the defect flagged by the tester without allowing the issue to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between October 2022 at 95,425 miles and September 2023 at 98,139 miles, the car covered only 2,714 miles, suggesting a period of lower usage. However, usage increased significantly in the following two years, with over 12,500 miles logged between the 2023 and 2025 tests. This shift in driving patterns typically accelerates the wear on consumable items such as brake pads, suspension arm bushings, and exhaust components. Since the records show no recurring advisories or historical faults, the mechanical history appears clean on a surface level. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, which are common failure points for this age. Given the 110,000-mile mark, checking the condition of the shock absorbers for leaks and the integrity of the brake discs is advisable as these components often reach the end of their functional life at this mileage.
