2021 Volkswagen Polo Match EVO 1.0L Petrol · GD21 LBO

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 9 April 2026 at 20,769 miles where the tester recorded no defects. This result represents an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years, as the issues identified in earlier inspections have been addressed. The clean report suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying flagged mechanical items. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,154 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 19,131 miles and the April 2025 test at 20,347 miles, the car covered only 1,216 miles, indicating infrequent use or long periods of stationary. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts due to age rather than friction. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the nearside front tyre was flagged for cracking and perishing in both 2024 and 2025. This recurring cracking suggests the rubber compound may be out-dating despite sufficient tread depth. Additionally, while the front brake pads were noted as thin in April 2025, the physical inspection should confirm that the pads were replaced and that the discs show no signs of excessive scoring or heavy corrosion from sitting idle.
