2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · MM11 KAH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection in October 2025 at 73,703 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum regulatory standards. While a failure occurred in late December 2024 at 72,878 miles, the vehicle passed a retest five days later, suggesting a minor corrective action rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,142 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2023, the car covered 1,736 miles, followed by an increase to 2,366 miles in the following year. This low-annual usage suggests the vehicle has not seen heavy use, which often preserves the drivetrain components and suspension bushings. However, it also implies potential periods of standing which can sometimes cause rubber components to perish or brake seals to dry out. Given the clean MOT history without recurring advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components not covered by the annual MOT test. Prioritize the underside for signs of surface corrosion or structural rust on the subframe, as low-mileage cars sometimes suffer from environmental degradation. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking due to age rather than tread depth, and check the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear which occurs when a vehicle remains stationary for long periods.
