2022 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · GL22 CVF

The vehicle currently holds a good roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass on 2 June 2026 at 19,034 miles. The maintenance trend appears improving as the car moved from a failed state in the previous year to a result with no recorded defects. The most recent test indicates that the previous owner addressed identified issues and maintained the vehicle to a passing standard thereafter. The mileage profile reflects low usage for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging 4,758 miles per year. Between the May 2025 test and the June 2026 test, the car covered only 1,778 miles, suggesting long periods of inactivity or short trips. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and brake assemblies, though long periods of standing can occasionally lead to flat-spotted tyres or corrosion on brake discs if not monitored. A buyer should specifically note the failure recorded on 30 May 2025 at 17,257 miles due to a failing front windscreen wiper and a leaking front battery. While the subsequent pass suggests these were rectified, a physical inspection should verify the battery for any signs of acid corrosion and ensure the wiper blades provide clear visibility without streaking. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for surface rust on the braking rotors and ensure the calipers are not seizing due to the vehicle sitting stationary between periods of use.
