2011 Volkswagen Polo Match 60 1.2L Petrol · TS11 TES

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 18 December 2025 at 108,223 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the owner has successfully maintained the vehicle to meet DVSA standards without allowing mechanical or structural issues to escalate into failures or even advisories. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old Volkswagen Polo, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per annum. Between December 2021 (74,292 miles) and December 2025 (108,223 miles), the car covered 33,931 miles, showing a steady usage rate of roughly 8,500 miles annually. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals and seized components, while also avoiding the accelerated wear-and-tear seen in high-mileage commuter vehicles. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a buyer should still focus their physical inspection on components prone to age regardless of low mileage. Given the 2011 manufacture date, the chassis should be inspected for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, as MOT tests only flag significant rust once it becomes hazardous. The rubber suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking, as these elements degrade over time even if the car is driven infrequently. The brake system should also be examined for caliper binding or disc corrosion to ensure the clean record reflects the actual current state of the hardware.
