2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · SB68 EHC

The roadworthiness trend for this 2018 Volkswagen Polo is exceptionally stable based on the available DVSA test history, culminating in a clear pass on December 19, 2025 at 32,860 miles with zero defects recorded. The record displays clean test sheets across December 20, 2022, December 21, 2023, December 17, 2024, and the latest 2025 inspection. A single failure occurred on December 21, 2023, though no specific defect details were logged against that refusal, and the vehicle successfully passed later that same day. The vehicle has covered roughly 4,108 miles per year over its eight-year lifespan, totalling 32,860 recorded miles by the end of 2025. This low annual mileage reflects light usage, though buyers must verify whether extended periods of stationary parking occurred. The data contains no mileage gaps or rapid accumulation phases, and the absence of advisory items across multiple consecutive tests indicates that common consumable degradation like tyre wear or brake disc corrosion did not reach the threshold of tester concern during annual inspections. Evaluating this vehicle in person requires focusing on components vulnerable to low-mileage usage and age rather than recurring MOT failures, since none are present in the history. Inspect the braking system closely for seized or binding calipers caused by infrequent driving. Check the rubber suspension bushes, drive gaiters, and wiper blades for perishing or dry rot, as these degrade over time regardless of low mileage accumulation. Verify the condition of the exhaust system and check underneath for surface corrosion on the structural members and subframes.
