2022 Volkswagen Polo 2.0L Petrol · KM22 WDC

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT history. The most recent test in June 2026 at 67,840 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable maintenance trend since the previous inspection. This consistency suggests that the owner has proactively addressed any potential issues before they could fail the MOT safety or emissions standards. The mileage pattern is notably high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,000 miles per annum. Between the May 2025 test at 51,009 miles and the June 2026 test, the car covered 16,831 miles in just over thirteen months. This rapid accumulation indicates consistent long-distance use, likely motorway driving, which places predictable but significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to lower-mileage city cars. While the MOT records show no mechanical failures, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection of components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Pay attention to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of premature fatigue or leakage. Given the mileage, the brake discs and pads should be checked for adequate thickness and even wear, as high-frequency use accelerates the degradation of these consumables. Additionally, verify tyre tread depth and matching brands to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from alignment issues.
