2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · FG18 AXB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 27 March 2026 at 79,767 miles. This test carried no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and environmental standards. Following a brief failure in early 2024, the vehicle has maintained two consecutive clean records, suggesting that any previous issues were addressed and that the mechanical condition is holding steady. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately ten,000 miles per annum. Between the March 2023 test at 41,952 miles and the April 2025 test at 63,277 miles, the car covered over 21,000 miles, showing regular operation. The more recent interval of 16,490 miles between April 2025 and March 2026 reflects this consistent level of use, which often prevents the degradation of components associated with long periods of standing while contributing to standard wear on consumable items. While the history is largely clean, the failure on 28 March 2024 at 50,642 miles warrants a closer look at the specific component that caused the rejection. Since the record provided does not detail the reason for failure, a buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines for signs of premature wear. Given the mileage is approaching 80,000 miles, a physical inspection should also check the condition of the brake discs and the integrity of the exhaust system to ensure no significant corrosion is developing since the last test.
