2021 Volkswagen Polo Match TSI 1.0L Petrol · LS71 CDY

The 2025‑08‑04 MOT at 31,217 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The previous 2024‑08‑05 test showed recurring brake wear and a ineffective wiper, yet the latest result indicates those issues have been corrected, suggesting a stable maintenance trend rather than ongoing deterioration. Mileage has risen from 28,120 miles in August 2024 to 31,217 miles by August 2025, an increase of roughly 3,100 miles over eleven months, which equates to about 3,400 miles per year – within the typical range for a five‑year‑old vehicle. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, and the spacing between tests is consistent with regular use. A buyer should therefore inspect the front brake assembly for pad thickness, disc scoring and caliper binding, as the earlier advisory noted thin pads. The windscreen, previously marked for damage and wiper inefficiency, must be examined for cracks or chips and the wiper mechanism tested for full sweep. Suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers should be checked for wear or binding, and the chassis and wheel arches inspected for structural rust that could compromise integrity. Finally, tyre tread depth, brake disc condition, and exhaust emission levels should be verified in person, while any previous advisories that were not addressed in the recent test should be confirmed as resolved before purchase.
