2015 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · ST65 AEJ

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 2 March 2026 at 38,754 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of passes without a single advisory or failure, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage is very low for an eleven year old car, averaging roughly 3,523 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable, increasing by approximately 2,400 to 2,500 miles annually between March 2023 and March 2026. This linear growth indicates the car has been used regularly for short trips rather than sitting dormant for years, which reduces the risk of seized calipers or perished seals. Despite the flawless MOT record, the low annual mileage warrants a specific physical inspection of components that degrade with age rather than use. A buyer should check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and verify the brake fluid moisture content. Rubber components such as suspension bushes and engine mounts can harden over a decade regardless of the low odometer reading. The absence of any recorded corrosion or structural advisories over the last five years is a positive indicator of the vehicle's overall integrity. Given the lack of mechanical red flags in the DVSA data, the primary focus should remain on confirming that the service intervals were adhered to despite the low mileage.
