2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · PK64 TYO

The 2014 Volkswagen Polo currently presents a stable and sound mechanical condition, evidenced by its most recent MOT pass on 16 March 2026 at 100,171 miles. The maintenance trend remains stable, with no defects recorded on the current certificate. A failed test occurred three days prior on 13 March 2026 at the identical mileage, yet notably, no defects were recorded for this failure either. This anomaly suggests an administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical breakdown, as the vehicle passed cleanly immediately afterward without any recorded mileage accumulation or repair intervals. The vehicle's mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a twelve-year-old supermini, averaging approximately 8,348 miles annually. The recorded data shows a distinct acceleration in use over the past year. Between the September 2023 test at 86,700 miles and the March 2025 test at 89,895 miles, the Polo covered roughly 3,195 miles over eighteen months. However, the subsequent twelve months leading to the March 2026 test saw a jump of 10,276 miles to reach the current 100,171 miles, indicating a recent shift toward higher mileage driving. Although the MOT record is entirely free of advisories or failures, the recent increase in annual mileage warrants a thorough in-person inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the tyre tread depths and sidewall integrity, to ensure they reflect the recent uptick in road use. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers require physical checking for deterioration, given the car's age and the transition from lighter to heavier usage. Structural integrity around the sills, wheel arches, and subframes must be verified for corrosion, as the absence of MOT flags does not preclude the onset of surface rust that a physical inspection would readily identify.
