2017 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · OF04 MAX

The vehicle maintains a clean roadworthiness status, with the most recent test on 25 September 2025 resulting in a clear pass. This record indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the car has successfully navigated its last three annual examinations without any recorded defects or advisories. While the history shows two failed tests in 2023 and 2024, these appear to be administrative or procedural anomalies rather than mechanical failures, given that they were immediately followed by successful passes on the same day or shortly thereafter. With a current reading of 35,511 miles at nine years of age, the vehicle averages approximately 3,946 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile suggests the car has seen light usage, though such patterns often lead to specific issues related to inactivity, such as seized brake components or degraded rubber seals. The steady accumulation of mileage confirms the vehicle has remained in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which is a positive indicator for the health of the engine and drivetrain. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related deterioration rather than high-mileage wear. Prioritise an examination of the brake discs and pads for signs of surface corrosion or binding, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from under-use of the braking system. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the exhaust system, as these rubber and metal components can perish over time regardless of the distance covered. Provided the service history confirms regular oil and filter changes, the mechanical outlook for this vehicle remains favourable.
