2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · FP14 NVT

The 2014 Volkswagen Polo presents an entirely stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 18 November 2025 at 84,664 miles. Every recorded MOT test since 2022 has passed without a single defect or advisory. This flawless record indicates a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high mechanical standard, with no recurring faults or emerging structural issues flagged by DVSA testers. The vehicle's mileage accumulation aligns closely with its age, averaging roughly 7,055 miles per year, which is typical for a supermini of this vintage. Between April 2022 and April 2024, the Polo covered a steady 1,000 to 1,500 miles annually, reflecting regular, light use. However, the recent data reveals a notable shift in driving patterns. Between the April 2025 test at 84,503 miles and the November 2025 test at 84,664 miles, the car covered just 161 miles in seven months. This drastic reduction suggests the vehicle has recently spent prolonged periods stationary, which demands specific attention to components susceptible to seizure or deterioration from inactivity. Because the MOT history contains zero advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the mechanical implications of the recent low mileage. Tyres must be checked closely for flat-spotting or perishing caused by long-term standing, as the rubber ages regardless of tread depth. Brake discs and calipers require thorough examination for surface corrosion and binding, common issues when a vehicle sits unused for extended periods. Suspension bushes and exhaust components should also be inspected for deterioration that might not yet constitute an MOT failure but could indicate a lack of recent active use.
