2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · LX14 XSD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent test in February 2026, though the maintenance trend shows signs of minor recurring wear. While it consistently passes, the latest report highlights specific advisories regarding a damaged and worn offside front tyre, alongside a deteriorated nearside track rod end ball joint dust cover. This suggests that while the car is functional, small rubber and suspension components are beginning to require attention due to age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old car, averaging only 3,570 miles per year. The data shows a steady but slow accumulation of miles, moving from 32,950 miles in early 2022 to 42,844 miles by early 2026. This low usage typically means less mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain, but it also explains why rubber-based parts are perishing over time, as seen in the tyre records. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the tyres and rubber components, as the history shows multiple issues with tyre perishing and cracking across different years. Because the car sits for longer periods, it is vital to check the condition of the suspension bushes, dust covers, and wiper blades, which have been flagged as defective or deteriorated. Additionally, the battery securing should be checked as it was previously noted to be insecure, and the registration plate lamp should be verified for functionality since it has been a recurring failure in the past.
