2010 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · FT10 OSV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test in July 2025 at 88,610 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems currently meet the required standard. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to prevent recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Between July 2022 and July 2025, the car covered 16,727 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage rate rather than long periods of abandonment or sudden bursts of high mileage. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based seals and brake components if the car sits stationary for extended periods between tests. The only failure in the provided history occurred in July 2024 at 83,881 miles due to nearside and offside front headlamps being obscured by a product. This was a cosmetic lighting issue that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle passed the retest that same day. Because the record lacks advisories for structural corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake leaks, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related factors. Specifically, check the condition of the underside for rust and inspect the state of the brake discs for pitting, as these are common points of concern on low-mileage vehicles of this era.
