2020 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · LF20 OFR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the most recent MOT test held on 13 February 2026, where the car passed inspection at 26,642 miles. The maintenance history demonstrates a stable trend of passing inspections, with no recorded structural failures or major mechanical advisories during the recorded period. However, the tester flagged that all four tyres are beginning to crack and perish, indicating a clear need for replacement of the tyre set. The mileage accumulation is consistent with light use, averaging approximately 4,440 miles per year since 2023, with the total mileage reaching 26,642 miles as of the most recent test. The history shows a steady progression of wear, with the front track rod end dust covers being noted as cracked on both occasions in 2024 and 2025. This suggests a pattern of minor, recurring wear on suspension components rather than a sudden, severe mechanical failure. A buyer should inspect the suspension system thoroughly, paying close attention to the track rod ends and their dust covers, as these have been flagged repeatedly. Given the age and mileage, the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes should be checked for signs of fatigue or leakage. Furthermore, while the engine and drivetrain appear sound based on the available records, the immediate replacement of the perished tyres is necessary.
