2011 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Diesel · PJ11 CGU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 15 December 2025 at 100,489 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This reflects a clean record across the last five tests, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids de-scheduled mechanical failures or safety-related defects. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. There is a notable increase in activity between the September 2021 test at 76,839 miles and the October 2024 test at 88,646 miles, where the car covered over 11,000 miles in three years. However, the subsequent frequency of testing in late 2024 and late 2025 indicates the vehicle is currently in regular use, which often helps prevent the seal degradation and component corrosion associated with long periods of standing. While the MOT history is devoid of flagged faults, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of components common to a fifteen-year-old Volkswagen Polo. Given the mileage has crossed the 100,000-mile mark, checking for wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is advisable. You should also inspect for structural corrosion on the sills and brake lines, as the MOT test only identifies structural integrity issues once rust reaches a specific threshold of failure.
