2021 Volkswagen Polo Style TSI 1.0L Petrol · NG71 ABN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding tyre condition. In the most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 35,832 miles, the tester flagged all four tyres as being worn to the legal limit or showing uneven edge wear. This represents a regression from the October 2024 test, where tyres were only noted for superficial cracking and minor damage, indicating a failure to replace worn rubber in a timely manner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 7,166 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 23,273 miles and the November 2025 test at 35,832 miles, the car covered 12,559 miles in just thirteen months. This sudden spike in usage relative to the annual average explains the rapid degradation of the consumables, specifically the tyres, despite the low overall figure on the odometer. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and alignment, as the recurring edge wear noted on the front and rear tyres suggests potential issues with tracking, worn suspension bushes, or incorrect camber settings. The presence of cracking and perishing on the rear tyres also indicates the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or been exposed to elements that degrade the rubber compound. Beyond the immediate need for new tyres, the record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, suggesting the core components remain stable.
