2013 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · LL63 KDZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass in April 2026 at 138,410 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a period of significant mechanical wear identified in 2025. While the 2025 test flagged multiple suspension and tyre issues, the lack of advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that the owner addressed these specific mechanical faults before the latest annual test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year. There is a notable jump of nearly 19,000 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, indicating a period of high usage compared to the subsequent 10,000 miles driven between the 2025 and 2026 tests. This level of mileage places expected stress on the drivetrain and chassis components, which aligns with the suspension failures noted in the earlier records. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry and rubber components. The 2025 record identified wear on both front suspension arm pin bushes and a damaged track rod end dust cover, alongside play in the offside front ball joint. Although these passed the latest test, these components are prone to rapid degradation on older vehicles and should be checked for movement or perished rubber. Additionally, the history of tyre damage and cuts in 2023 and 2025 suggests the current tyres should be evaluated for sidewall damage or uneven wear patterns.
