2016 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Petrol · KD16 APU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful test on 18 June 2025 at 47,117 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows a recurring pattern of immediate failure followed by a retest. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the initial inspection but passed shortly thereafter without defects, suggesting that minor issues or consumable items are rectified just before the deadline rather than through a proactive preventative schedule. At ten years of age, the recorded mileage of 47,117 miles is significantly below the national average, averaging approximately 4,712 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between June 2023 and June 2024, and approximately 6,140 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This low-intensity usage generally protects the drivetrain and engine components from wear, though it can occasionally lead to age-related degradation of rubber and seals due to lack of motion. A buyer should investigate the specific reasons for the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the provided summary does not detail the exact defects. Given the low mileage, these failures likely related to minor items such as blown bulbs, wiper blades, or slight fluid leaks rather than structural rust or mechanical failure. A physical inspection should focus on brake disc corrosion and the condition of suspension bushes, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust if left stationary for long periods.
