2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · MW68 ACV

This Volkswagen Polo demonstrates an exceptional roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 8 September 2025 at 60,612 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is typical for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,576 miles per year. There is a notable increase in annual usage in the latter stages of the record. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the odometer rose from 33,994 to 47,341 miles, and it climbed further to 60,612 miles by September 2025. This indicates a shift toward heavier use in the last two years, though the lack of mechanical failures during this period suggests the car has handled the increased load well. The absence of any advisories across five consecutive tests is rare and implies a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owners. No recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear in the data. There are no flags for structural corrosion or tyre tread depth, which often plague vehicles of this age. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that the MOT may not flag as failures until they reach a critical limit. Check the condition of the brake pads and tyre tread depths, as the recent increase in mileage will have accelerated the wear on these consumables. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and filter replacements align with the increased mileage seen since 2023.
