Our Verdict

When inspecting this Polo, examine the service history closely to cross-reference the replacement dates for consumables flagged in recent MOT tests—such as brake pads, discs, and tyres. You should negotiate on the price to account for the numerous advisory items noted in February 2026, including worn suspension arm bushes and perishing rear tyres. Ensure you verify whether the suspension wear or sub-frame corrosion has worsened since the last test date.
Running costs for this 1.198L petrol Polo should remain relatively modest regarding fuel and insurance, though older vehicles with higher mileages often demand higher maintenance expenditure. Expect typical outlays for standard servicing, alongside budgeting for upcoming repairs on items highlighted in the MOT record, such as suspension bushes and braking components. Annual running costs, factoring in fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, are estimated around £1,100 to £1,350.
Pay close attention to the front lower suspension arm bushes, which were noted as worn during the February 2026 test. Inspect the rear tyres closely for the perishing and edge wear flagged in the same inspection, and check the condition of the brake discs and pads referenced in 2025. Finally, inspect the underbody sills, rear sub-frame, and rear suspension component mountings for corrosion, as structural rust has been a recurring theme across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests.
With an odometer reading of 126,329 miles recorded at its February 2026 test, this silver petrol Polo has covered significantly more ground than the national average for its model group. Its recent test history features a mix of passes, a previous failure for unsecured electrical wiring in 2024, and a persistent set of wear-and-tear advisories relating to suspension bushes, brake components, and corrosion underneath the vehicle.
The Volkswagen Polo has an average MOT pass rate of 77.3% across the UK fleet, with tyres, engine MIL lamps, and ball joints forming the most common failure reasons.
