2016 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · MT66 ABF

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 14 October 2025 at 30,155 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is remarkably low for a ten year old car, averaging roughly 3,016 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady and predictable, moving from 25,095 miles in October 2021 to 30,155 miles by October 2025. This suggests light, consistent use rather than long periods of stagnation, which reduces the likelihood of seized calipers or perished rubber seals often found in low-mileage examples. While the MOT history is flawless, the low annual mileage warrants a specific physical inspection of the consumables. Brake discs can develop surface corrosion or pitting when not used frequently, and tyres may suffer from age-related cracking even if the tread depth remains legal. A buyer should check the date codes on the tyres and ensure the brake pedal feel is firm and responsive. The absence of any flagged issues regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion over the last five years is a positive indicator of the car's overall integrity. Given the clean record, the primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure oil changes were performed regardless of the low mileage.
