2015 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · LC65 YYB

A consistent record of roadworthiness is evident through eight consecutive MOT passes since 2018, with no recorded failures. The overall trend is stable, although the most recent pass on 17 November 2025 included an advisory for perishing rear tyres, following a pattern of intermittent advisories related to wear-and-tear consumables. The vehicle has covered 77,932 miles over approximately eleven years, averaging roughly 7,085 miles per year. This represents a typical usage pattern for this age of vehicle, meaning wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and engine mounts is likely to be commensurate with standard age-related degradation rather than the accelerated wear seen in high-mileage examples or the deterioration associated with long-term standing. Inspection should focus on the tyres and braking system, as these have been recurring points of interest in the DVSA records. The 2023 test flagged front tyres worn close to the legal limit and on the edges, alongside thin front brake pads. On a test drive, the buyer should check for any steering pull or vibration that might suggest alignment issues causing the edge wear, and listen for brake squeal or feel for a lack of bite during stopping. The 2020 record noted surface rust on the exhaust system and front brake discs. While these were advisories, a physical inspection of the exhaust hangers and the underside of the chassis is necessary to ensure surface corrosion has not progressed to structural degradation. During braking, any pedal judder should be noted as it may indicate the discs have warped or suffered from uneven wear.
