2011 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · NU11 AEJ

The 2011 Volkswagen Polo, recorded at 27,972 miles, is presently roadworthy with no defects noted in the most recent MOT on 18 August 2025. All previous tests from June 2022 through August 2024 also recorded a pass, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no worsening or improving patterns. The mileage increase of roughly 1,000 miles per year between 2022 and 2025 reflects a consistent, low‑usage pattern for a fifteen‑year‑old vehicle. The interval from 15 June 2022 (25,589 miles) to 6 July 2023 (26,622 miles) shows an annualised rise of about 1,033 miles, while the period from 8 August 2024 (27,144 miles) to 18 August 2025 (27,972 miles) adds 828 miles over twelve months, confirming that the car has not accumulated mileage rapidly. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, and verify that the tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition meet current standards, as these components typically show gradual deterioration even with low annual mileage. Finally, the structural integrity should be assessed for rust on the chassis, wheel arches and underbody, and the exhaust system must be checked for corrosion or leaks, since age can affect these areas independently of mileage, while consumable items such as the battery and fluid levels merit a separate visual and functional check.
