2009 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · LS59 FNJ

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status following the September 2025 inspection at 82,876 miles. This test flagged specific concerns regarding the exhaust system and front suspension components, particularly the worn pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. The history demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, with no evidence of rapidly worsening mechanical failures, though the recurring suspension advisories suggest a need for attention to steering and handling components. The mileage pattern shows consistent, moderate use, accumulating approximately 4,875 miles per year between 2022 and 2025. The vehicle has been tested regularly, with no significant gaps in the record, indicating continuous ownership. Previous issues, such as the exhaust Lambda failure recorded in September 2024, were resolved before the subsequent inspection, suggesting that the underlying mechanical fault was addressed. The vehicle has also shown wear on consumables, evidenced by the tyre damage noted in September 2022. A buyer should inspect the exhaust system thoroughly, as the down pipe was noted as being in poor condition during the 2025 test. The suspension components require a specialist check to confirm the condition of the worn pins and bushes, as this relates directly to structural integrity and ride quality. Additionally, the condition of the headlamp lenses and windscreen should be checked for safety and visibility.
