2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · LD68 OSB

The 2025‑11‑20 MOT at 39,692 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. The preceding 2025‑11‑19 test, also at 39,692 miles, was logged as failed but likewise listed no defects, suggesting a possible administrative anomaly; the latest outcome remains the authoritative assessment. Mileage has risen steadily from 21,952 miles in November 2022 to 39,692 miles by November 2025, an increase of roughly 17,740 miles over three years, or about 5,900 miles per annum, which is higher than the low‑usage estimate of 4,962 miles per year but still consistent with normal private use. The jump of 7,101 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests and a 4,670‑mile rise between 2024 and 2025 show no prolonged periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes for wear, the coil springs for corrosion, the brake discs for scoring or cracking, and the calipers for binding, as these components typically exhibit gradual deterioration over the observed mileage. Check for structural rust around the wheel arches, sills and chassis, and verify tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition, since the record shows no explicit corrosion or failure notes but normal wear is expected. Overall, the vehicle demonstrates a reliable maintenance history with no recorded mechanical failures, but a thorough in‑person examination of the aforementioned components is advisable before purchase.
