2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · FG64 WGA

The 2014 Volkswagen Polo presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 7 May 2025 at 72,800 miles. The absence of any recorded defects across the documented history indicates a vehicle that has remained fundamentally sound mechanically and structurally. This pattern suggests a previous owner who addressed issues promptly rather than allowing faults to accumulate, resulting in a car that currently meets all required safety and environmental standards without advisories. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with light, typical usage for a supermini of this age. Between the April 2022 test at 49,582 miles and the May 2023 test at 57,891 miles, the car covered 8,309 miles. This dropped slightly to 7,711 miles over the following twelve months, ending at 65,602 miles in April 2024, before settling at a steady 7,198 miles over the subsequent year leading to the 72,800-mile reading. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in usage that would suggest prolonged standing or excessive long-distance strain, pointing instead to consistent, short-to-medium distance driving. A minor anomaly exists in the April 2024 record, where a failure and a pass are logged on the same day at the identical mileage of 65,602 miles with no defects listed. This typically indicates a retest following a procedural error or a data entry discrepancy rather than a mechanical fault. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Buyers should examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related deterioration, check the brake discs and calipers for corrosion that might not yet constitute a failure, and inspect the exhaust system for early signs of corrosion. Tyre age and uneven wear patterns also warrant close scrutiny, as consumables degrade over time regardless of tread depth.
