Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When inspecting this specific Polo, you should prioritise checking the condition of the front suspension. The recent MOT history shows a trend of deteriorated dust covers on anti-roll bar joints and CV boots, as well as play in the track rod end ball joints. These are common wear items but suggest the vehicle may need upcoming mechanical work.
Negotiate based on the recent advisories. Since the 2025 MOT noted 'severely deteriorated' CV boots and anti-roll bar covers, you should ask if these have been replaced since the test. Additionally, review the brake history; with 'worn' discs and pads appearing in multiple years (2022, 2023, and 2024), ensure the current braking system is not nearing another replacement interval.
The 1390cc petrol engine is generally efficient for urban and suburban driving. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a small hatchback in this class. Tax and insurance groups for a 2013 Polo are usually mid-range, making it relatively affordable for newer drivers or small households.
Maintenance costs should be planned around the suspension and braking components identified in the MOT records. While parts for a Volkswagen Polo are widely available, the frequency of advisories regarding tyres and brakes suggests these will be your primary recurring expenses. An estimated annual running cost is provided below.
Focus heavily on the front end of the vehicle. Specifically, inspect the offside front track rod end and the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage, as the MOT history has flagged these for deterioration and play. Check the CV boots (drive shaft joints) for any signs of grease leakage, as the 2024 and 2025 tests both identified 'severely deteriorated' boots.
Secondly, examine the tyres and brakes. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyres perishing or being worn close to the limit (2022, 2023) and brake discs being noted as worn or pitted (2022, 2023, 2024). Check the tread depth across all four tyres and look for any scoring or uneven wear on the brake discs to ensure they are not approaching the state noted in previous tests.
This 2013 grey Volkswagen Polo 1.4 Petrol has covered 66,763 miles, which is relatively low for its age. However, the MOT history reveals consistent issues with brake wear, tyre condition, and suspension components like ball joints and CV boots. The most recent 2025 MOT recorded several advisories regarding track rod ends and drive shaft boots that require attention.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.3%, with common failure points including tyres, lighting, and ball joints.
