2016 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · KP03 HOL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance. Following a failure in November 2023, the car has passed two consecutive tests without any recorded defects. The most recent inspection conducted on October 2025 at 77,554 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical and lighting issues identified in previous years have been addressed or rectified by the owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,755 miles per year. Between the December 2022 test at 59,583 miles and the November 2024 test at 70,220 miles, the car covered roughly 10,600 miles in two years. This usage rate suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the brake components and preventing the premature corrosion often associated with stationary cars. A prospective buyer should perform a focused physical inspection of the offside front shock absorber. While the 2023 test flagged a light misting of oil, the subsequent clean records suggest the leak was monitored or the unit was replaced. The buyer must also verify the condition of the exhaust system, as corrosion on the rear box was noted in late 2022. Although the brake discs were noted as worn in 2023, the current thickness should be checked to ensure they are not nearing their minimum legal limit.
