2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · FP14 TPY

The Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy following the October 2025 test cycle, with the most recent pass recorded on 2025-10-07 at 88,377 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, as every annual examination from 2022 through 2025 returned a pass with no advisories logged. A failed entry on 2025-10-07 at identical mileage but no defects recorded points to an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, corrected the same day by the pass. Annual mileage averages near 7,365 miles against the car's 2014 build, a typical use rate for this age. The records show 54,455 miles in October 2022, rising to 63,320 by October 2023, then 75,586 in October 2024 and 88,377 by October 2025. That is a steady ~12,000 miles per year over the last three years, with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The clean sheet across all five tests means the DVSA data gives no evidence of skipped consumable care or deferred structural repair. Given the absence of flagged advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, the MOT record alone implies conscientious upkeep by prior keepers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for structural rust and check the condition of the exhaust emissions system, as twelve years of age invites unseen deterioration not captured by a pass with no defects. Verify the duplicate October 2025 entries with the selling garage to confirm the failure cause was paperwork, not a concealed fault. The Polo's documented history supports a sound purchase, but independent verification of the braking calipers and suspension mounts remains prudent at this mileage.
