2007 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · FH57 UHO

The 2007 Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 April 2026 at 115,789 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from April 2023 to April 2025 also passed cleanly. The upkeep pattern indicates consistent basic compliance rather than deferred faults. Mileage sits at a typical level for a nineteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,094 miles per year across its life. The record shows 88,698 miles in April 2023, rising to 101,735 by April 2024, then 112,260 in April 2025 and 115,789 in April 2026. Annual accumulation stayed between roughly 10,000 and 13,000 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The only anomaly is a failed test on 2 April 2024 at 101,356 miles, just thirteen days before the passing retest at 101,735 miles; the failure listed no defects, which suggests an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than mechanical neglect. No advisories or component faults appear across the five tests, so the MOT data alone reveals no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns. A clean pass sheet does not certify component condition below test thresholds. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, subframe corrosion, coil springs, and binding calipers, as these degrade with age irrespective of MOT outcomes. The April 2024 failure with no logged defect warrants a check of the retest paperwork to confirm the cause was resolved.
