2016 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · FN16 ACV

The Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 23 January 2026 at 63,017 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, showing clean passes in 2025 and 2024 alongside the latest result, and no recurring advisories or mechanical faults have been logged by testers at any stage. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,302 miles given the car's 2016 build, with the record moving from 51,067 miles at the March 2024 tests to 57,378 miles by March 2025 and 63,017 miles by January 2026. This reflects light, consistent use rather than standing or heavy accumulation. The two failed tests on 22 January 2026 and 25 March 2024 both show zero recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the centre rather than mechanical rejection, and the immediate passes next day confirm no underlying fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, and underbody structural integrity, as the MOT record captures only pass-day condition and exposes no corrosion or wear trends to date. The clean sheet means no specific component demands targeted scrutiny beyond standard pre-purchase checks. Given the sparse but clean history and low yearly mileage, previous ownership appears to have kept basic upkeep current, though the twin no-defect failures suggest the vehicle was presented without full documentation on those occasions rather than neglected mechanically.
