2016 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · FN16 NJX

This Volkswagen Polo presents a stable and exceptionally clean maintenance profile. The most recent MOT on 24 December 2025 at 70,161 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy state without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,016 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady, with 9,643 miles added between December 2024 and December 2025, and 4,797 miles between December 2022 and December 2023. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The record shows a single failure on 21 December 2023 at 57,718 miles, though it passed the following day at the same mileage. Since the DVSA record lists no specific defects for that failure, it likely related to a minor administrative error or a quick-fix consumable. The absence of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions across five years of testing is uncommon and suggests a high standard of preventative care. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that MOT testers occasionally overlook or that do not trigger a failure. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads to ensure they have not reached their limit since the December 2025 test. Given the age of the vehicle, a brief check for surface corrosion on the underbody is advisable, although the clean MOT history suggests the structural integrity remains sound.
