2017 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · LN67 YSD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 26, 2026 at 59,967 miles. While the most recent test passed, the maintenance trend shows a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. A significant failure in May 2025 revealed multiple critical issues including bald tyres, suspension wear, and parking brake inefficiency. Although these were addressed for the subsequent pass, the history suggests the owner only attends to mechanical faults once they threaten an MOT test result. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, moving from 33,666 miles in May 2023 to nearly 60,000 miles by 2026. This low-to-average usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy stress, but the failure of suspension bushes and brake components in 2025 indicates that rubber and metal parts are degrading due to age and corrosion despite the low total distance driven. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The front suspension arm pins and bushes were flagged in 2023 and 2025, so a physical check for any remaining play or clunking is necessary. The front brake discs were noted as worn in both 2025 and 2026, indicating they are nearing the end of their effective service life and will likely require replacement soon. Additionally, the windscreen has a history of damage across 2023 and 2026; the buyer should ensure no new stone chips have developed into cracks within the driver's field of vision.
