2021 Volkswagen Polo 2.0L Petrol · ST71 FND

The vehicle is in excellent roadworthiness condition as of its most recent MOT on 26 September 2025 at 24,626 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing consistent pass results with no advisories or failures across two consecutive tests, indicating reliable mechanical condition and proper care. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2021 model, averaging just under 5,000 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 18,335 miles and the September 2025 test, the car accumulated 6,291 miles in just 11 months — a slightly elevated but still reasonable annual rate. The absence of any intermediate tests or sudden mileage spikes suggests consistent, moderate use without prolonged inactivity or excessive strain. The clean record over this period reinforces the impression of careful ownership. With no advisories or failures recorded in either test, there are no recurring faults to flag as systemic concerns. However, given the low overall mileage and the potential for components to stiffen or corrode with infrequent use, a buyer should inspect the brake calipers for binding, check the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for dry rot, and verify that the exhaust system shows no early signs of internal corrosion — issues that can emerge even in low-mileage cars left standing for extended periods. The tyres and wiper blades, though not flagged, should be checked for age-related cracking regardless of tread depth.
