2021 Volkswagen Polo Match EVO 1.0L Petrol · GL21 JSZ

The most recent MOT on 5 June 2025 at 65,242 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle was roadworthy at that time. With two consecutive clean tests, the maintenance trend appears stable, though the MOT is now overdue by roughly one month, signalling the need for a fresh examination before further use. Mileage has risen from 61,034 miles on 6 June 2024 to 65,242 miles on 5 June 2025, an increase of 4,208 miles in twelve months. For a five‑year‑old Polo this equates to about 8,400 miles per year on average, a moderate usage rate that does not suggest extreme wear. No large mileage gaps are evident, and the recorded figures align with a consistent driving pattern rather than prolonged storage. A prospective buyer should focus on consumable wear that the MOT record does not capture. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, verify brake disc surface and pad thickness, and feel for any play in suspension bushes or coil springs. Examine the steering rack for binding, check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, and confirm that all lights and emissions components operate correctly. A current MOT will provide the final assurance of structural integrity and compliance.
