2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · GP18 CYZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the latest test in August 2025 at 60,689 miles resulted in a pass, it followed an immediate failure that same day. The initial failure flagged multiple tyres with cuts reaching the cords and wear at the legal limit, alongside thinning front brake pads and worn discs. This sequence suggests the owner only addresses safety-critical components once they reach a point of failure during the inspection process. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 30,172 miles and the August 2024 test at 49,603 miles, the car covered roughly 20,000 miles, indicating steady use. The more recent jump of 11,000 miles covered between August 2024 and August 2025 shows the vehicle is still being used regularly, which explains the accelerated wear on rubber components and braking hardware noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres, as the history shows recurring issues with perishing, cuts, and uneven wear. The repeated mention of tyres wearing on edges across 2023, 2024, and 2025 indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The brake judder noted in 2023, combined with the thin pads and worn discs in 2025, suggests the braking system is nearing the end of its effective service cycle. Focus attention on the front suspension geometry and component integrity to ensure the recurring tyre wear has not caused underlying mechanical damage.
