2015 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Diesel · LC65 HHF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 58,372 miles passed despite advisories regarding the front braking system and the nearside front tyre, the pattern of recurring faults is concerning. The failure in July 2024 due to structural tyre damage and thin brake pads suggests that the owner only addressed mechanical issues once they reached a failure point rather than during intervals. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 58,372 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. The data shows a notable gap of nearly 4,500 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, followed by another 8,500 miles in the following year. This low-frequency usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the perishing offside rear tyre noted in 2023 and the defective rear wiper blade in 2022. A buyer must closely inspect the front braking assembly, as the record consistently flags thin pads and pitted or scored discs across multiple years. The imbalance in rear brakes noted in 2023 further suggests that the calipers or adjustment mechanisms may be seizing or require professional attention. Furthermore, the repeated mentions of edge wear on the nearside front tyre across three tests indicate a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that need to be verified to prevent premature wear of new rubber.
