2011 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Petrol · FP11 ERV

The 2011 Volkswagen Polo presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 4 August 2025 at 111,474 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with each annual test clearing the vehicle once a prior failed attempt on the same day was corrected. Records show no recurring mechanical or structural faults, indicating the car has not exhibited worsening condition over the three years logged. The odometer advanced from 94,629 miles at the 11 August 2023 test to 104,052 miles by 5 August 2024, then to 111,474 miles by 4 August 2025. That equates to roughly 9,400 and 7,400 miles per year, close to the 7,432 annual average for a 15-year-old car of this type. The sparse three-year record shows clean passes after same-day failures that listed no defects, suggesting the initial fails were administrative or minor presentation issues rather than wear-related faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 111,474 miles. The MOT data flags no advisories on these components, but the tests offer no insight into developing wear between annual checks. Verify the circumstances of the 4 August 2025 and 5 August 2024 same-day fail-pass pairs with the selling garage, as no defects were recorded yet the vehicle was initially rejected. Confirm service history covers cambelt, coolant, and transmission fluid given the mileage and sparse test commentary.
