2021 Volkswagen Polo Active TSI 1.0L Petrol · HJ71 SYG

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, though it was marred by a failure on 29 April 2026 due to mismatched tyre sizes on the rear axle. This specific defect was rectified on the same day to achieve a pass, following two previous tests in 2024 and 2025 that were completed without any recorded defects or advisories. The overall trend indicates a vehicle that has consistently met the minimum safety and emissions standards. The recorded mileage of 35,732 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,146 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. This level of usage suggests that drivetrain components and suspension systems have experienced moderate wear consistent with standard road use. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or sudden spikes in mileage that would indicate periods of prolonged stagnation or excessive wear on consumables. Buyer inspection should focus on the tyres to ensure that the previous mismatch has been fully resolved and that the current fitments are of the correct specification and matching dimensions across each axle. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any unusual road noise and feel for steering pull or instability, which can occasionally persist if incorrect tyre sizes were previously used or if wheel alignment was affected during the replacement process. Since no other mechanical defects or advisories have been recorded, there are no specific suspension or braking components flagged for targeted scrutiny.
