Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a buyer seeking a high-mileage city car with a recent history of clean MOT results. While the mileage is high for its age, the lack of recent defects is a positive indicator.
Given that this vehicle has covered over 100,000 miles, you should prioritise checking the service history to ensure regular oil changes have been performed, particularly for the small-capacity 999cc engine. Ask the seller for evidence of recent major maintenance, such as timing belt/cam belt replacements, which are critical at this mileage interval.
When inspecting the car, pay close attention to the clutch and gearbox, as high-mileage small petrol engines can sometimes show wear in the drivetrain. While the MOT history is currently clean of defects, always verify that any advisories from previous years have been addressed, even if they do not appear on the most recent 2025 certificate.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making this Polo relatively economical for urban driving and commuting. You can expect decent fuel economy, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Tax and insurance groups for this specific 2014 model are typically positioned in the lower to mid-range, making it an affordable choice for newer drivers or those on a budget. Maintenance costs should be standard for a Volkswagen, though you should budget for more frequent consumable replacements like brakes and tyres given the high annual mileage.
Focus your inspection on the underside and suspension components. While the 2025 MOT recorded no defects, the 2022 failure indicates that components can occasionally fall below standard, so check for any signs of wear in the bushings or dampers.
Check the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks, especially around the small-capacity engine components. Additionally, ensure all electrical components, such as lights and wipers, are functioning correctly, as these are common areas for minor MOT issues in older vehicles.
This 2014 grey Volkswagen Polo features a 999cc petrol engine and has covered 107,741 miles since its first registration in November 2014. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of annual testing, with the most recent three tests passing with no defects recorded. Although it has reached six figures in mileage, the recent trend suggests it has been used regularly without immediate mechanical failures appearing on the MOT record.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Volkswagen Polo model to provide a comparative benchmark.
