2020 Volkswagen Polo Match TSI 1.0L Petrol · SB20 CGU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a clear deterioration trend with the most recent test failing in early 2025. The tester flagged a binding condition on the near-side front brake disc in July 2023, followed by a failed test on the same month in 2025, indicating that the braking system has not been adequately maintained since the initial inspection. Regarding mileage, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 8,700 miles over six years, which aligns with its age but suggests that the mechanical wear is not uniform. The rapid accumulation of miles since the initial MOT in 2026, combined with the failure in January 2025, suggests that the owner may have been skipping routine servicing or that the vehicle has been driven without proper lubrication, leading to accelerated failure of critical components. A buyer should inspect the front brakes and suspension bushes in person to verify the binding condition noted in the 2025 record, as this structural risk remains a primary concern given the recurring nature of the brake disc wear and the lack of a recent MOT.
