2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · VO68 VGC

The vehicle currently holds a passing MOT certificate as of September 2025, with a recorded mileage of 32,261 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of increasing wear on consumable components, specifically tyres and brake discs, over the last two years. The most recent test flagged cracked front brake discs and perished rear tyres, alongside recurring issues with the track rod end dust covers. This indicates that while the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the degradation of suspension and braking components is progressing steadily. The mileage accumulation is relatively stable, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year since the 2022 test at 20,055 miles. This slow rate of accumulation suggests light usage. However, the history reveals a clear pattern of tyre failure, with multiple tests noting cracked and perished rear tyres, and the most recent test confirming cracked front tyres. The failure of the nearside front tyre in October 2022, exposing the ply or cords, establishes an early indication of tyre deterioration that has continued through the subsequent testing periods. A potential buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the track rod end dust covers, as these have been noted as cracked across three consecutive tests. The wear on the front brake discs requires immediate attention, as they were flagged as worn and lipped in both the 2024 and 2025 inspections. Given the consistent failure of tyre sidewalls, thorough inspection of all four tyres for signs of age, cracking, or ply exposure is essential before purchase.
