2017 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · LR17 VEX

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 25 August 2025 at 22,917 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This clean record suggests the vehicle has been maintained to an exacting standard without the mechanical degradation or structural corrosion typically seen in higher-age vehicles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,546 miles per year. Between the August 2021 test at 17,063 miles and the August 2025 test at 22,917 miles, the car covered only 5,854 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to issues with rubber components and fluid seals. The data shows a consistent, low-impact usage pattern rather than erratic bursts of high-distance driving. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components associated with low-mileage storage. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or flat-spots on the tyres, which often occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Examine the suspension bushes and tyre mounts for signs of cracking, as these materials degrade through age regardless of the distance driven. Since the MOT history shows no recurring structural rust or mechanical failures, the primary risk remains the age-related degradation of consumables rather than wear-and-tear.
