2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · FH67 PTY

The 2018 Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 September 2025 at 23,439 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run across all successful examinations. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVLA history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the recorded MOT cycle. Annual mileage remains low for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 2,930 miles per year. The record shows 11,896 miles at the 11 October 2022 test, rising to 16,532 miles by 10 October 2023, then 20,636 miles on 18 September 2024 and 23,439 miles in September 2025. The accumulation is steady at around 3,000 to 4,000 miles annually with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural care. One anomaly requires clarification before purchase. On 10 October 2023 the tester logged a failure at 16,532 miles yet recorded no defects, with a pass logged the same day at identical mileage. This suggests an administrative error or a retest following a documentation issue rather than a genuine mechanical reject. The buyer should obtain the full DVSA test certificate and any associated failure sheet to confirm no hidden fault was raised and cleared. Given the absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across five tests, the Polo shows no recurring wear trend requiring intervention. A physical inspection should still verify tyre condition, underbody structural integrity, and brake caliper operation, as low-mileage cars left standing can develop perished rubber and surface rust not captured in a pass-only MOT record.
