2016 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · MY12 MCD

This 2016 Volkswagen Polo has a typical mileage profile for its age, suggesting consistent use rather than periods of standing. The most recent MOT test on 8 May 2026, resulted in an initial failure due to an exhaust leak at the flexible coupling and high carbon monoxide emissions. While it passed eventually, the recent failure indicates a worsening trend in the exhaust system's integrity and engine efficiency. A recurring issue is the windscreen damage, which has been noted as an advisory on every test since May 2025. This suggests a lack of attention to basic maintenance. Given the mileage, you should expect general wear on consumables and suspension components. Inspect the exhaust system for signs of recent, poor-quality repairs to the flexible coupling and check the windscreen for any further cracking or spreading.
