2019 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · FD69 ETZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing MOT tests. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 68,439 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a cut on the nearside rear tyre. This follows two consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2023, indicating that the primary mechanical and safety components have maintained acceptable standards over the last three testing cycles. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,777 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 28,175 miles and the November 2025 test at 68,439 miles, the car covered 40,264 miles, representing a steady usage rate. The intervals of roughly 13,000 to 14,000 miles between annual tests suggest a predictable driving pattern rather than periods of long neglect or sudden heavy use. Attention should be paid to the brief failure in November 2023 at 41,752 miles, which flagged ineffective windscreen wipers and a failed offside stop lamp. While these are basic consumable and electrical items rectified before the retest, a buyer should ensure the wiper motor is not straining and that all lighting elements remain functional. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake defects in the history, the physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and the thickness of the brake discs to ensure they align with the recorded mileage.
