2011 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · FE11 ACO

This 2011 Volkswagen Polo is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 16 May 2025 at 85,300 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 12 May 2025 and 19 May 2023, the records show these failures were resolved almost immediately, suggesting a proactive approach to keeping the car legal. The mileage is notably low for a fifteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,687 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between May 2023 and May 2024, where the odometer rose from 72,275 to 78,027 miles. More recently, the vehicle covered 7,273 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This pattern indicates the car is in regular use rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. The MOT history is exceptionally clean for a vehicle of this age. No recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs appear in the data. There are no mentions of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures, which often plague older small hatchbacks. The lack of advisories across multiple years suggests a high standard of general upkeep. A buyer should still perform a physical check for common age related wear that MOT testers might overlook if not critical. Focus on the condition of the rubber seals and the operation of the electrics. Given the low mileage and clean record, the primary concern would be any hidden corrosion on the underbody or signs of oil leaks from the engine gaskets that have not yet triggered a failure.
