2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · FP18 ABZ

The 2018 Volkswagen Polo passed its most recent MOT test on 29 June 2023 with no defects recorded at 26,300 miles. This outcome indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle has consistently passed its tests without any issues. However, the test history reveals a failed test on 22 June 2023 at 26,108 miles, which raises some concern about the reliability of the vehicle's maintenance. The recorded mileage of 26,300 miles at around 8 years old suggests that the vehicle has been driven relatively lightly. With an average annual mileage of 3,288 miles, it is likely that the vehicle has been used for short trips or been stationary for extended periods. Notably, there is a significant gap in test history between 2022 and 2023, which may indicate that the vehicle was not regularly used or maintained during this time. The rapid accumulation of 8,095 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests also warrants closer inspection. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension, brakes, and exhaust system in person, as these components are prone to wear and tear. The failed test on 22 June 2023 at 26,108 miles may have been due to a minor issue that was rectified before the subsequent test on 29 June 2023. However, the buyer should still investigate the cause of the initial failure and ensure that the vehicle's brakes are functioning properly. Furthermore, the buyer should check for any signs of corrosion or rust on the vehicle's structural components, as this can be a serious concern for a vehicle of this age.
