Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Given the very low mileage, the primary concern is age-related degradation rather than wear from use. The June 2026 MOT specifically noted perishing rear tyres and worn suspension arm pins/bushes on both the nearside and offside front; these should be used as negotiation points for a price reduction or requested as repairs before purchase.
Ensure you verify the service history. Low-mileage vehicles can still suffer if oil changes were neglected during periods of inactivity. Check that the 'covers' mentioned in the latest MOT, which obscured some components, are removed so you can fully inspect the vehicle's underside.
The 1390cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, keeping fuel costs manageable. Insurance groups for the Polo are typically low to mid-range, and the vehicle falls into a standard tax bracket for its age and engine size.
Typical maintenance for this model is moderate, though this specific car will have immediate costs associated with replacing the perishing rear tyres and potentially the front suspension bushings. The estimated annual running cost accounts for fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Prioritise an inspection of the front suspension; the MOT history explicitly flags worn pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. Check the rear tyres for the cracking and perishing noted in the June 2026 report, as these represent a safety concern.
Additionally, check the headlamp alignment to ensure the 2025 failure was permanently rectified. As tyre issues are a top failure reason for this model aggregate (671,964 vehicles analysed), a thorough check of all four tyres for uneven wear or age-related cracking is essential.
This black 2013 Volkswagen Polo has covered just 33,450 miles, which is significantly lower than the typical mileage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT record is relatively clean, with only one failure in 2025 regarding headlamp aim. However, the most recent test in June 2026 highlighted several advisories regarding suspension bushings and tyre condition.
The Polo has an average MOT pass rate of 77.3%, with common failure points including tyres and ball joints.
