2015 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · KT15 WXC

The vehicle shows a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in the November 2025 test at 110,127 miles. While the most recent inspection recorded no defects, the October 2025 test at 109,711 miles highlighted significant issues regarding brake pipe corrosion on both front and rear lines. The tester noted these pipes were covered in grease or other material, which often suggests an attempt to mask oxidation. This follows a period of clean passes in 2023 and 2024, indicating that while the vehicle is currently compliant, it has experienced intermittent lapses in component maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 34,240 miles in 2018 to the current 110,127 miles. There are no suspicious gaps in mileage that would suggest clocking or long periods of inactivity. The data is relatively dense, providing a reliable chronological view of the car's mechanical life from its early years through to its current high-mileage stage. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and chassis. The history shows a recurring pattern of brake disc deterioration, with pitting and scoring flagged in 2020, 2021, and a major failure in October 2022. The October 2025 advisory regarding corroded brake pipes is a specific area of concern that requires verification to ensure the lines are not structurally compromised. Furthermore, the 2022 failure involving multiple suspension arm bushes and imbalanced brakes suggests the vehicle has faced significant wear in its running gear. Inspection of the suspension components is also necessary. The record shows a trend of deteriorating suspension bushes dating back to 2018, with a significant failure for worn bushes on both nearside and offside front arms in October 2022. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the history of suspension and braking issues indicates that the chassis and underside components have been subject to regular wear. Checking for any signs of recent replacement or ongoing corrosion in the suspension mounting points is advised.
