2011 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · SC60 FOU

The 2011 Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 145,140 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run across the available history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a fifteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 9,676 miles per year. The records show steady accumulation: 128,778 miles at the 5 December 2022 test, 134,621 miles on 18 December 2023, 139,847 miles on 19 December 2024, and 145,140 miles by the December 2025 test. The DVSA log is sparse but clean, with no advisories or wear items flagged across any entry. One anomaly requires scrutiny. On 19 December 2024 the car failed and passed on the same day at 139,847 miles, both with no defects recorded. A same-day fail with no noted defect usually points to an administrative error or a retest after a documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The buyer should confirm with the selling garage what triggered that failure code. Given the absence of recorded advisories, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable and structural items not always captured in a pass result. Examine brake disc thickness, suspension bushes, coil springs, and underbody corrosion at 145,140 miles. Verify the tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions fall within limits ahead of the next test.
