2021 Volkswagen Polo Active TSI 1.0L Petrol · SL71 ABN

The vehicle holds a clean MOT record with two consecutive passes and no defects recorded. The most recent test in October 2025 at 16,210 miles confirms it meets current roadworthiness standards. The maintenance trend is stable, with no advisory items or failures to suggest developing mechanical issues. The mileage pattern is low for a five-year-old car, averaging roughly 3,200 miles per year. The recorded mileage increased from 12,654 in October 2024 to 16,210 in October 2025, a modest annual increase of about 3,500 miles. This indicates light, consistent use rather than prolonged standing or high-intensity driving. Despite the clean history, a low-mileage vehicle of this age can still present specific concerns. Brake discs and calipers may suffer from surface corrosion if the car has stood for extended periods. Suspension bushes and tyres can degrade from age rather than mileage. A buyer should inspect the brake discs for pitting, check the condition of rubber suspension components, and verify the tyres are not cracked or perished. The exhaust system should also be examined for corrosion, as short journeys may not allow it to dry out fully.
