2017 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · M2 UNC

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. While the most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 78,562 miles initially recorded a failure, the vehicle passed the immediate retest with no defects noted. This suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly without indicating a systemic mechanical failure, as the previous three annual tests all returned entirely clean results without any advisories or failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per annum. Between September 2022 at 45,126 miles and October 2024 at 65,248 miles, the car covered roughly 20,000 miles, while the more recent interval of 13,314 miles leading to the 2025 test shows a steady accumulation. This consistency suggests regular operation which often helps prevent seal degradation and component corrosion associated with long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT history shows no recurring structural corrosion or persistent-related issues, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear and tear components associated with this mileage. Given the 78,562-mile mark, the buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these often perish at this age. The brake discs and pads should also be checked for thinning or uneven wear, though the MOT record does not indicate any binding calipers or hydraulic issues in the past.
