2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · PO64 WWJ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. Following a significant failure in September 2023, the car has passed its two most recent tests without any recorded defects. The most recent inspection in August 2025 at 90,944 miles confirms that the previous mechanical and safety issues identified have been successfully rectified, leaving the vehicle in a clean state presently. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical used-car of this age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per annum. The data shows steady accumulation, moving from 68,996 miles in August 2022 to 84,090 miles in September 2024, and reaching 90,944 miles by August 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which helps prevent the de-watering and degradation of rubber components and brake seals often seen in low-mile vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system, as these were recurring areas of concern. The September 2023 failure flagged both the nearside front suspension arm bush and the offside front arm bush for excessive wear. While these were cleared, a physical inspection should check for any remaining play or knocks in the steering geometry. Additionally, the nearside rear service brake showed binding and marginal performance in previous tests; a road test is necessary to ensure the caliper is not sticking and that the brake system adjustment previously noted has been performed correctly.
