2012 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Petrol · KM61 AFK

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 79,371 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to January 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance or very light duty cycles. The mileage is low for a 14 year old car, averaging roughly 5,669 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable over the last four years. Between the January 2022 test at 64,484 miles and the October 2025 test at 79,371 miles, the car covered 14,887 miles. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious resets in the data, which indicates genuine low usage. Because the MOT record is devoid of any flagged faults, there are no recurring mechanical trends to warn against. The absence of advisories regarding brake disc corrosion, suspension bush wear, or exhaust leaks is unusual for a vehicle of this age. It suggests the previous owner addressed wear items before they became testable failures. A buyer should still verify the condition of rubber components and fluids during a physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished tyres or degraded engine oil if they have spent long periods standing. Check for signs of perished tyre sidewalls and ensure the brake calipers are not seizing due to inactivity, as these issues often bypass a basic MOT if the vehicle is only driven occasionally.
