2009 Volkswagen Polo SE TDI 75 1.6L Diesel · TC07 RMC

The 2009 Volkswagen Polo SE TDI 75 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 June 2025 at 146,152 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass on 1 December 2023 at 140,567 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried through. The history shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the available entries. Mileage sits at a typical level for a 17-year-old car. The record shows 115,023 miles in August 2021, rising to 135,190 by November 2022, then 140,567 by December 2023, and 146,152 by June 2025. That equates to roughly 8,600 miles per year overall. A notable gap exists between the 2021 and 2022 tests, with the 2023 entry showing a failed test on 10 November at 140,264 miles followed by a pass three weeks later at 140,567 miles, though no defects were listed on either. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and mileage. The DVSA data flags nothing on these items, but the 2023 failure with no recorded defect suggests an administrative or unlisted issue rather than a worn component. Verify the rear brake calipers are free and check exhaust emissions against current limits during any pre-purchase check. Given the lack of advisories, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic upkeep. The clean 2025 pass at 146,152 miles indicates the Polo remains structurally sound on paper. Treat the absent history between 2021 and 2022 as a minor gap, not a red flag, and confirm service records independently before purchase.
