2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · WF68 XUT

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend across its five MOT records. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 33,458 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced an advisory for a nearside rear tyre reaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This indicates that while the mechanical and structural components remain sound, the vehicle is now entering a phase where consumable items require immediate attention. The mileage pattern is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,182 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between October 2023 at 21,772 miles and October 2024 at 30,638 miles, where the car covered nearly 9,000 miles in twelve months. While the low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long periods of lower use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or minor corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle is not driven regularly. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, given the recurring advisories for uneven edge wear on tyres in both 2023 and 2025. The fact that both front tyres and now a rear tyre show edge-related wear suggests a potential issue with tracking or worn-out suspension bushes. Additionally, verify the brake discs for surface pitting or thinning, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust due to infrequent brake application.
