2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · SF64 WHB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of recurring wear-related component failures. While the most recent test in October 2025 passed, it introduced an advisory for slight play in the offside front wheel bearing. This follows a period where multiple mechanical and suspension issues required attention, suggesting that while the car is functional, it requires consistent monitoring to maintain its standard. The mileage profile is notably low for the age, having covered only 61,175 miles over 12 years. This averages to approximately 5,100 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. There is a visible gap in usage between October 2022 and August 2023, where the vehicle covered only 3,200 miles. Such low-mileage usage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluids, which may correlate with the issues seen in the inspection history. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry, specifically focusing on the bushes, as suspension arm bushes and rear own swivel pins have been flagged across multiple tests. The braking system also warrants scrutiny; given the history of imbalanced brakes, fluctuating discs, and corroded brake pipes, the buyer should verify that the hardware is clean and the pipes are free of significant corrosion. Additionally, the exhaust system should be checked for further leaks, as minor emissions have been a recurring advisory in previous years.
