2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · KT18 UNP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection in November 2025 at 38,636 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a significant failure in late 2024. While the 2024 test revealed multiple urgent safety issues, the subsequent clean pass indicates that the owner addressed the necessary repairs to bring the car back to standard. The mileage profile is low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 5,506 miles driven between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 5,388 miles covered by November 2025. This low mileage suggests limited mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to dry rot in rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the front suspension, specifically focusing on the steering components. The 2024 failure noted an excessively damaged nearside track rod end ball joint dust cover, which indicates a potential for premature joint wear if not monitored. Additionally, the 2024 record flagged structural sidewall bulges on two rear inner tyres and low tread on the front; you must verify that the current tyres are of adequate age and show no signs of structural failure or uneven wear.
