2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · LR64 XPE

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 22 January 2026 at 66,644 miles resulting in a pass with zero recorded defects. This indicates a highly stable maintenance trend, as the car has successfully cleared four consecutive annual inspections without a single advisory or failure notice. The brief failure recorded on 31 January 2025 at 63,884 miles appears to be an administrative anomaly or a rectified oversight, given that the vehicle passed the same inspection on the same day without any recorded defects. With 66,644 miles accumulated over twelve years, the car averages approximately 5,554 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average. The mileage progression remains consistent, showing steady usage of roughly 3,000 to 3,500 miles between each annual test since 2023. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been used for short, regular journeys rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which often helps mitigate the risks of seized components or degraded seals associated with long-term storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of consumable components that may be nearing their service life due to age rather than mileage. While the MOT history is clean, check the brake discs for surface corrosion and the tyres for sidewall cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rubber degradation before the tread wears down. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or fatigue, as these items are prone to natural ageing regardless of the total distance covered. The lack of historical advisories is a positive indicator of careful ownership, but a thorough check of the service book remains essential to confirm that oil changes and engine maintenance have kept pace with the vehicle's age.
