2011 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · FT11 ORL

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, with the most recent MOT on 12 May 2025 at 134,005 miles recorded as a pass and no defects noted. The identical fail recorded on the same day, also without defects, appears to be an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue, indicating a stable maintenance record across the four tests. At 134,005 miles the Polo has averaged roughly 8,900 miles per year since its 2011 registration, a mileage level that aligns with typical usage for a car of this age. The MOT entries show a consistent mileage progression—129,106 miles in May 2024 rising to 134,005 miles by May 2025—without any sudden spikes or prolonged gaps, suggesting regular driving rather than periods of neglect or excessive short‑term use. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of wear items that are not captured by the MOT, such as tyre tread depth, brake pads and discs, and suspension components including bushes and coil springs. Inspecting for any surface rust on the bodywork and checking the exhaust system for leaks will also confirm that no hidden structural deterioration has developed since the last test. A brief road test to feel for binding brakes or steering irregularities will provide additional confidence before purchase.
