2015 Volkswagen Polo 1.8L Petrol · SE60 ALS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 27 January 2026 at 114,038 miles. While the record shows two instances of initial failure followed by successful retests, the immediate nature of these subsequent passes suggests that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified defects to maintain legal roadworthiness. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three passes indicates that the vehicle currently meets minimum mechanical and safety standards, reflecting a consistent maintenance trend. The mileage profile is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,367 miles per year. The data shows a steady usage pattern, with 4,834 miles covered between October 2023 and December 2024, and another 8,065 miles recorded between December 2024 and January 2026. This recent spike in mileage suggests active recent use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of rubber seals, brake components, and engine lubrication. Despite the clean MOT history in terms of advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the components that caused the failures in December 2024 and January 2026. Since the record does not specify the exact defects for those failures, it is vital to verify what was replaced to ensure high-quality parts were used rather than temporary fixes. Given the 114,000 mark, close attention should be paid to suspension bushes, coil springs, and potential corrosion on the underbody, as these are common areas of wear at this mileage.
