2021 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · WT21 ARX

The vehicle presents a clean and stable maintenance record based on the two available MOT tests. The most recent test on 4 August 2025 at 22,183 miles passed without any defects, matching the previous test on 5 August 2024 at 16,237 miles. This indicates consistent upkeep with no emerging mechanical or structural issues flagged over the past two years. The recorded mileage of 22,183 miles over approximately five years equates to an annual average of roughly 4,400 miles, which is low for a Volkswagen Polo. The mileage accumulation between tests is steady, with 5,946 miles covered in the year between August 2024 and August 2025. This pattern suggests light use rather than prolonged standing, though the low annual figure does not rule out short, infrequent journeys. Given the defect-free MOT history, a buyer should focus on verifying the condition of consumables that degrade with time rather than mileage. Inspect the tyres for age-related cracking, the brake discs for corrosion from infrequent use, and the battery for charge retention. Check the suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links for perishing, as these components can deteriorate on a low-mileage car that sits unused for periods. A thorough test drive is advisable to assess brake binding and gearbox smoothness, as these issues may not appear on a static MOT inspection.
