2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · GD14 XEZ

The 2026-01-05 MOT at 26,647 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend since the 2021 failure. The 2014 model has accumulated 26,647 miles over roughly 12 years, averaging 2,221 miles per year, which is low for its age and suggests light use or long periods of inactivity; mileage increments between tests remain modest, with only 571 miles added between the 2021 failure and the 2022 pass and 551 miles between the 2024 and 2026 tests, showing no rapid accumulation. Recurrent issues include front brake discs showing wear and pitting, rear parking brake lever wear, offside rear brake pipe damage, and a split CV joint boot on the near side front drive shaft; tyre wear close to legal limits on both front and rear positions and occasional wiper inefficiency point to the need for close inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components. A buyer should examine the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads, verify the integrity of the parking brake lever and rear brake pipe, check the CV joint boot for cracks, assess tyre tread depth and edge wear, test wiper operation, and look for any signs of structural rust or corrosion on the chassis as these items have repeatedly appeared in the MOT history.
