2017 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · RV67 VRE

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on July 1 2025 at 78,188 miles. While the history shows a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by passes on the same day, the most recent record indicates that all defects were rectified promptly. The maintenance trend appears stable, suggesting that the previous owner was proactive in addressing mechanical issues once they were flagged by the tester rather than allowing faults to persist over multiple testing cycles. The mileage profile reflects a consistent average of approximately 8,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. Between the 2023 test at 58,083 miles and the 2024 test at 71,369 miles, the car covered 13,286 miles in just sixteen months, followed by another 6,819 miles in the year leading up to the most recent failure and pass. These recorded intervals suggest the vehicle is subjected to regular use, which generally benefits mechanical components by preventing brake seizing or seal degradation from long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in June 2024 and June 2025. Although the record does not list the specific reasons for these failures, the immediate passes often indicate common wear items such as suspension bushes, exhaust leaks, or lighting components. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a thorough check of the underbody for corrosion and an inspection of the brake discs and caliper condition is essential to ensure that no deeper structural issues are developing beyond the surface-level repairs noted during the MOT history.
