2020 Volkswagen Polo Match TSI 1.0L Petrol · RE20 CVR

This 2020 Volkswagen Polo has a relatively clean MOT history, but the most recent test shows a failure that required attention. While it passed in June 2025, it initially failed due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring. The mechanical trend appears stable rather than worsening. Aside from the broken spring and a minor note regarding an engine undertray in 2024, there are no recurring patterns of structural or safety defects. The 2023 mention of fluctuating rear service brakes was noted as not being excessive, which is common in vehicles that sit for periods. The mileage is significantly lower than average for a six-year-old car, averaging roughly 3,895 miles per year. While this suggests light usage, such low mileage can sometimes imply the vehicle has spent long periods stationary. This can lead to issues like rubber component degradation or brake seizing, which aligns with the minor brake fluctuation noted in the 2023 record. The vehicle's recent pass indicates that the immediate safety issue with the suspension has been addressed. However, the low usage means you should be mindful of how the car has been maintained during its periods of inactivity.
