2010 Volkswagen Polo SE 70 1.2L Petrol · SW10 AAX

The April 2023 MOT at 92,357 miles confirmed roadworthiness with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend despite the vehicle’s 2010 registration. The 2022 test at 88,612 miles also showed no faults, reinforcing consistency across the two consecutive inspections. Mileage accumulation is modest, averaging roughly 2,880 miles per year between the two tests, well below the typical 5,772 miles per year for a 16‑year‑old vehicle, suggesting periods of limited use or extended standing. The 13‑month interval between tests is the only gap in the record, and no rapid mileage spikes are evident. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, examining rear and front bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or binding, and inspect the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, as these components are prone to deterioration even with low usage. Given the clean MOT history, the vehicle appears roadworthy, but a thorough physical inspection of structural rust, exhaust integrity, and tyre condition is advisable before purchase, as these areas are not captured in the official record.
