2009 Volkswagen Polo 1.6L Diesel · FG59 PHF

The Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 19 May 2025 at 132,329 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the three years of available history. The vehicle cleared its test cleanly after two earlier failures in 2024 and 2025 that were logged with no defects cited, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than outstanding wear. Recorded mileage rose from 121,230 in April 2023 to 129,020 by May 2024, then to 132,329 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 7,800 miles per year, consistent with typical use for a 17 year old car. The gaps between tests are annual and show no sudden accumulation or long dormant periods. The supplied record is sparse, with no advisories or component-specific faults listed at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and subframe corrosion, as the MOT entries give no visibility of these items beyond a pass result. The two failures at 128,998 and 132,322 miles with no defects noted suggest the car was presented without a valid prior certificate or with paperwork discrepancies rather than mechanical defect, but confirm the current owner cleared it properly on the subsequent attempt. Given the clean advisory history, previous keepers appear to have kept the Polo to a basic pass standard without flagged neglect. At 132,329 miles the drivetrain and consumables such as tyres and wiper blades will be due for age-related checks even if the tester raised nothing.
