2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Petrol · NA14 CDN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 at 101,798 miles. While the record shows technical failures on the same day as the 2025 and 2026 passes, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests these minor issues were rectified immediately prior to retest. The absence of recurring advisories across the last three years indicates that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards without outstanding mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Between the March 2024 test at 87,719 miles and the March 2025 test at 93,190 miles, the car covered 5,471 miles, followed by another 8,608 miles in the subsequent year. This steady usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of sitting stationary, which often leads to premature failure of seals and the degradation of rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most prone to wear at the 100,000-mile threshold. Although the MOT record is clean of advisories, a manual check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is advisable as these often perish at this mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, inspecting the condition of the brake discs for corrosion and checking calipers for movement will ensure no binding has developed. The structural integrity of the chassis should also be verified for hidden rust that a standard MOT test might not have highlighted.
