2016 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · NG16 ORF

The 2025-09-06 MOT at 53,738 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle’s current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. The consecutive passes in 2024 and 2023 reinforce this consistency. Mileage has risen from 42,502 miles in the April 2022 test to 53,738 miles in the September 2025 test, a gain of 11,236 miles over just over three years, averaging about 5,300 miles per year, which matches the vehicle’s age and suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing. The 2023-01-31 failure, though defect‑free on the record, shows a correctable issue that was remedied before subsequent passes. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or corrosion, and check the structural bodywork for any rust that could affect integrity. Visual assessment of tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition is also advisable, as these consumables often reveal neglect despite a clean MOT history.
