2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Petrol · FY14 FSF

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend toward improving maintenance standards. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 79,177 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that any previous issues have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in November 2024, suggesting that the current ownership is proactive in maintaining the vehicle's mechanical integrity after a period of recorded failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per annum. Data shows a significant interval of 20,000 miles between August 2023 and November 2024, followed by roughly 10,000 miles in the year leading up to the November 2025 test. This rate of use is moderate, which generally reduces wear on high-stress drivetrain components and suspension, though the periods of lower use can sometimes lead to rubber degradation or brake corrosion. While the most recent tests are clean, the failures in August 2023 at 50,078 miles and October 2024 at 69,186 miles indicate that specific components required immediate attention in the past. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushings and brake components near those failed tests to ensure the repairs were comprehensive and not merely temporary fixes. Given the age of the Polo, a close look at structural corrosion on the sills and wing arches is also necessary, as the MOT record only confirms specific points of failure rather than the overall state of the chassis between tests.
