2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · GD14 FHE

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 5 June 2025 at 130,683 miles passed without defects, indicating it was roadworthy at the time. However, the record shows two failed tests in May 2024 and April 2023, suggesting inconsistent maintenance or minor issues that were rectified. The absence of recurring advisories or defects in the passing tests suggests the vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the intermittent failures hint at potential variability in upkeep. The lack of advisories in the passing tests implies no immediate structural or safety concerns, but the failures indicate that the vehicle may not have been maintained to the highest standard. The mileage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age, with roughly 10,890 miles per year. The tests were conducted at regular intervals, with the most recent test just 1,681 miles after the previous test in May 2024. This suggests the vehicle was driven consistently without long periods of inactivity. The clean mileage progression indicates that the vehicle was likely maintained properly between tests, but the failures suggest that some minor issues were overlooked or not rectified promptly. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for any signs of minor wear or damage, particularly focusing on the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system. The absence of recurring advisories in the passing tests suggests that structural integrity and major mechanical components are likely in good condition. However, the failures indicate that some minor issues may have been present but were not flagged as defects. A thorough inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs is recommended to ensure they are not showing signs of excessive wear or damage. Additionally, the exhaust system should be checked for any signs of leaks or excessive wear, as this could indicate potential emissions issues.
