2013 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · PL13 BAV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT test on 23 October 2025 at 89,340 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently cleared the test following initial failures in previous years. The presence of immediate passes in 2024 and 2025 suggests that the previous owner addressed necessary rectifications promptly to ensure the vehicle remained legal for road use. The mileage pattern is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,872 miles per year. Between August 2023 at 77,915 miles and August 2024 at 83,001 miles, the car covered 5,086 miles, while a further 6,339 miles were recorded in the interval between August 2024 and 2025. This steady accumulation indicates regular short-distance use which is generally beneficial for mechanical components like rubber seals and brake assemblies compared to long periods of stationary storage. While the most recent record shows no advisories, the recurring failures at 83,001 and 89,340 miles indicate that specific components have required attention prior to those test dates. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on Polos of this era. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for corrosion on the sills and examining the condition of the brake discs is essential to ensure no new structural degradation is developing since the last clean certificate.
