2011 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · EY11 AHZ

The 2025‑08‑14 MOT at 24,915 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy as of the latest test. No defects were noted in the preceding tests from 2022 through 2024, indicating a stable maintenance record with no evidence of worsening or improving issues. The mileage trajectory shows a marked decline: from 37,321 miles in August 2022 to 39,464 miles in August 2024, then to 38,526 miles in August 2023, and finally to 24,915 miles in August 2025, representing a reduction of roughly 14,500 miles over three years or about 4,800 miles per year. This low annual mileage, compared with the vehicle’s 15‑year age and typical usage of around 1,660 miles per year, suggests the Polo has been driven lightly or has spent extended periods stationary. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, verify that the rear brakes are not binding and that the brake discs show even wear, and examine the chassis and wheel‑arch areas for structural rust. The exhaust system should be checked for cracks or excessive corrosion, and tyre tread depth and even wear patterns should be confirmed, as these items are common wear points on a 15‑year‑old car with relatively low usage. Given the consistent pass history and low mileage, the vehicle appears well‑maintained, but a thorough physical inspection covering suspension, braking, structural integrity and tyre condition is essential before purchase.
