2011 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · FG60 YFJ

The Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 September 2025 at 66,722 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from January 2023 to December 2024 also passed clean. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year record, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern. Mileage sits low for a 2011 registered car at 66,722 miles, averaging roughly 4,448 miles per year. The record shows steady annual use: 57,460 miles in January 2023, 60,618 in January 2024, 63,856 in December 2024, and 66,722 by September 2025. The gap between the December 2024 and September 2025 entries is the only irregularity, suggesting a delayed renewal rather than sudden high use. The clean history with no flagged wear items points to light, careful running rather than neglected standing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. Low annual mileage often masks perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, track rod ends, and door seals that visual MOT checks can miss when corrosion or play is minimal. Standing periods also encourage brake caliper seizure and flat-spotted tyres even where tread remains legal. Given the sparse but consistent record, focus the viewing on underside structural integrity for rust, brake disc condition, and suspension articulation. The duplicate 31 December 2024 entries show one failed then passed test on the same day with no defects listed, likely an administrative retest rather than a genuine fault, but confirm with the seller that no repair work was concealed.
