2010 Volkswagen Polo 1.6L Diesel · FP10 RFF

The 2010 Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 July 2025 at 106,074 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in July 2024 at 100,534 miles and December 2023 at 96,582 miles also passed clean. The vehicle shows no worsening faults or recurring advisories across the available record. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a 16-year-old car. The record shows 90,642 miles in November 2022, rising to 96,576 miles by November 2023, then 100,534 miles in July 2024 and 106,074 miles by July 2025. That equates to roughly 5,400 to 6,500 miles per year, close to the expected average. A single failed test appears on 30 November 2023 at 96,576 miles, yet the retest just 21 days later on 21 December 2023 at 96,582 miles passed with no defects listed, suggesting the failure was resolved promptly without escalation. The sparse MOT history offers little evidence of neglected consumables or structural decline. No advisories for tyre tread, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion appear in any entry. The clean pass profile implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring worn components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common Polo age-related items not always caught in MOT checks. Examine coil springs, subframe mounting points, and sill sections for corrosion, and confirm brake calipers are free from binding after standing. Verify service history independently, as the MOT alone does not confirm fluid changes or timing belt interval compliance on this 106,074-mile example.
