2021 Volkswagen Polo Active TSI 1.0L Petrol · LS21 UOO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT test on 15 August 2025. The maintenance trend shows a slight decline from a clean sheet in 2024 to the appearance of minor advisories in the latest inspection. While the car meets the legal standard, the emergence of wear-related issues indicates that basic consumable maintenance is now beginning to require attention compared to the previous test. At 26,799 miles, the Polo reflects a very low mileage for its age, averaging approximately 5,360 miles per year. The gap in data between the July 2024 test at 18,785 miles and the August 2025 test shows the vehicle covered 8,014 miles in thirteen months. This suggests consistent but short-distance use, though low-mileage patterns sometimes lead to rubber component degradation or brake corrosion if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front axle area as the 2025 test flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This often indicates an alignment issue or worn front suspension bushes. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check the brake discs for pitting or rust, as infrequent use can prevent the pads from effectively cleaning the rotors surface.
