2015 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · GN65 PLZ

The vehicle presents a consistent roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT pass on 7 July 2026 at 31,093 miles showing no recorded defects. This follows a successful test in August 2025 at 29,395 miles, which was achieved immediately after a failure the previous day at the same mileage due to a fractured offside front coil spring. The immediate rectification of the spring failure suggests the owner is responsive to safety-critical mechanical faults once they are identified by the tester. At 31,093 miles over 11 years, the car has covered significantly low annual mileage, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. This low usage pattern explains the recurring issues with age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. Between 2021 and 2024, the tester repeatedly flagged perishing and cracking on the rear tyres. This is a classic symptom of a vehicle that sits stationary for long periods, causing the rubber to dry out and fail despite having sufficient tread depth above legal limits. The maintenance history reveals a trend of gradual brake and suspension component wear. From 2020 through 2024, the records consistently noted pitted or scored brake discs across multiple axles. Additionally, front suspension arm bushes and pins were flagged as worn across several annual tests. While these did not result in immediate failures in most instances, they indicate that the rubber components and metal hardware are reaching the end of their functional life. A prospective buyer should verify that these suspension rubbers and brake surfaces have been replaced since the July 2024 inspection to ensure the vehicle remains structurally sound.
