2008 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · RK08 WGA

This Volkswagen Polo is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 28 February 2026 at 92,498 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle is being maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is notably low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,139 miles per year. The distance covered between the February 2024 test at 83,120 miles and the February 2026 test at 92,498 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 4,700 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or long periods of stagnation. The MOT record is unusually clean, showing no recorded advisories for consumables such as brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes across multiple years. While the 2024 and 2025 tests show initial failures on the same day as the passes, the lack of specific defect data suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified instantly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may overlook during a standard check. Given the low annual mileage and the age of the car, check for perished rubber seals, battery health, and signs of corrosion on the underbody and sills. Confirm that the oil and coolant have been changed according to the manufacturer's time intervals rather than just mileage, as low-use vehicles often suffer from degraded fluids.
