2016 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · FE66 VBC

The vehicle holds a valid roadworthiness certificate following the October 2025 test at 60,318 miles, though the maintenance trend indicates recurring consumable neglect. The tester flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit on the outer edges. This mirrors the October 2023 inspection at 40,335 miles, where front inner tyre wear was similarly highlighted. The intermittent nature of these advisories suggests the previous owner likely delayed replacement until the tread approached the minimum depth rather than maintaining a safety margin. Usage has remained consistent with the vehicle's age, recording approximately 6,000 miles annually. Between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests, the odometer increased by 9,627 miles, representing the highest yearly accumulation in the recorded history. This steady rise rules out long periods of inactivity or odometer tampering. The record is sparse on mechanical defects, showing no structural rust or suspension failures over the last five years. You must inspect the front tyre condition immediately, as the October 2025 pass recorded both nearside and offside fronts worn on the edges. This specific wear pattern often indicates incorrect wheel tracking or suspension geometry issues, necessitating a professional alignment check alongside tyre replacement. Although the 2021 test noted under trays obscuring underside components, subsequent inspections found no corrosion, suggesting the structural integrity remains sound. Verify the current tread depth to ensure the car is legal for the road.
