2012 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Diesel · FL02 SAM

The 2012 Volkswagen Polo is currently roadworthy, having passed the May 27 2025 MOT at 105,682 miles with no defects recorded. The consecutive passes in August 2022, August 2023, June 2024 and May 2025 indicate a stable maintenance record, with no recurring failures observed. The mileage increase from 87,423 miles in August 2022 to 105,682 miles in May 2025 averages 7,549 miles per year, matching the typical usage for a 14‑year‑old vehicle. The data show steady accumulation, with the largest jump of 6,763 miles occurring between the August 2022 and August 2023 tests, and no significant periods of inactivity evident. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brakes are not binding and that the brake discs are free of scoring, examine the chassis for structural rust, and check the exhaust system for corrosion and emission compliance. While the MOT history is clean, a physical examination of these components, together with tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition, will confirm that the vehicle’s mechanical health matches its documented record.
