2013 Volkswagen Polo Match TDI 1.2L Heavy oil · LM13 AAJ

The Volkswagen Polo holds a valid MOT pass dated 22 October 2025 at 123,888 miles, with the DVSA entry recording no defects or advisories. Maintenance trend reads stable in mechanical terms across the visible history. The tester issued fails on 20 September 2025 at 122,643 miles and 10 October 2025 at 123,522 miles, yet both listings show no defects. That anomaly suggests administrative refusal rather than degradation, and the subsequent clean pass indicates resolving of whatever blocked certification. Mileage progression stays consistent with a thirteen-year service life. The car recorded 102,281 miles at the 16 September 2023 test, rose to 110,136 miles by 21 September 2024, and reached 123,888 miles at the final 2025 test. Annual distance ran about 7,855 miles in the first interval and 13,752 miles in the later thirteen-month span, nudging the long-term average to roughly 9,530 miles per year. Sparse clean records imply prior owners kept consumables within limits. A buyer should still commission an in-person check of suspension bushes, front coil springs, and brake discs, as these wear silently on aged Polos. The unexplained 2025 fails warrant review of refusal reasons; verify V5C and any off-record rectification of binding calipers or exhaust emissions. Inspect structural integrity at sills and subframes for corrosion, given the 2013 build and salt-exposed winters.
