2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · PN14 FDP

The vehicle's MOT history shows an improving trend in terms of pass results, moving from failures in 2024 and 2025 to a clean pass in the most recent test on 16 January 2026. While the 2024 and 2025 tests both recorded failures followed by immediate passes on the same day, the January 2026 inspection resulted in no defects. This suggests that the issues causing previous failures were addressed, though the record does not specify the exact mechanical nature of those faults. The recorded mileage of 51,667 miles for a 2014 model indicates an average annual usage of approximately 4,306 miles. This low annual mileage is consistent across the available data, though the MOT records themselves do not provide specific mileage increments for each year to confirm a steady rate of use. The gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests is almost exactly one year, suggesting regular annual inspections. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of components that often trigger failures in vehicles with low annual mileage, such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes, which can perish or seize from infrequent use. Because the 2024 and 2025 failures were not detailed in the provided record, a manual check of the underside for corrosion and an inspection of the exhaust system is necessary to ensure no underlying structural or emissions issues remain. buying_score: 68 risk_level: Low.
