2016 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · FV16 SZX

The 2025-08-20 MOT at 134,196 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition. The consecutive annual tests from 2022 onward all resulted in passes, indicating no worsening trend. The mileage trajectory reveals accelerated use in the early years: from 94,919 miles in August 2022 to 111,860 miles in August 2023, a gain of 16,941 miles, followed by 13,586 miles to 125,446 miles in July 2024 and a further 8,435 miles to 133,881 miles in August 2025 before the final 315‑mile increment to the current reading. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking bushes and coil springs for wear, and examine the brake assembly, including discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, as the high annual mileage can accelerate such deterioration. Inspection of the wheel arches and chassis for corrosion, especially around the sill and subframe, is also advisable, along with a check of tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition. While the MOT history is clean, the elevated mileage relative to age suggests that consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades and brake pads may have been replaced less frequently, making a thorough physical inspection essential before purchase.
