2013 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Diesel · ND63 HDJ

The 2025‑12‑03 MOT at 77,635 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend remains stable, as each preceding test from 2021 through 2024 also showed no recorded faults. The mileage trajectory shows a steady increase of roughly 5,000–6,500 miles per annual interval since the 2021 test, indicating consistent usage rather than prolonged standing. From 54,660 miles in December 2021 to 77,635 miles in December 2025 the vehicle accumulated about 22,975 miles, averaging just over 5,700 miles per year, which is low for a 13‑year‑old car. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that typically exhibit wear in a vehicle of this age and mileage, namely the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, which the tester previously flagged as binding in earlier inspections, as well as any structural rust on the chassis, especially around the wheel arches and sills, and the condition of the exhaust system and emissions components. The absence of any defect notes in the recent test suggests that these items have not deteriorated to the point of failure, yet a physical inspection is required to verify their current condition. Given the clean record and low annual mileage, the vehicle appears well‑maintained, but a thorough physical inspection remains essential to verify that the previously noted binding brakes and suspension wear have not progressed, and to assess tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and any hidden corrosion that could affect long‑term reliability.
