2010 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Petrol · PN10 TTY

The Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 February 2026 at 102,629 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The mileage pattern shows typical use for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging around 6,414 miles per year. However, the records reveal an unusual plateau between 21 March 2022 and 13 December 2023, where the odometer moved only 329 miles from 96,013 to 96,342. After that, the car covered roughly 6,000 miles in the following year to the February 2025 test at 96,371 miles, then a further 6,258 miles to the 2026 test. The sparse four-entry history shows no advisories or failures at any point. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the long low-use period that may have encouraged moisture retention. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks despite the absence of flagged defects, as the MOT tester cannot assess hidden wear without strip-down. The clean record implies the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current, though the stagnant 2022 to 2023 mileage suggests the car stood idle for long stretches. Verify service history and confirm brake calipers are free and exhaust emissions remain within limits before purchase.
