2017 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · WT66 EMX

The vehicle maintains a generally stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT test conducted on 12 February 2026 at 79,842 miles. While the vehicle passes the current inspection, the history reveals a recurring pattern of mechanical wear, particularly concerning suspension components and brake system consumables. The failure recorded on 3 February 2025 highlighted significant wear on the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm pins and bushes, indicating a developing mechanical issue that requires immediate attention. The mileage progression is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,871 miles per year over the last nine years. The record shows a steady accumulation of wear, with tyre wear being flagged close to the legal limit on two separate occasions in February 2025. This suggests that while the vehicle is mechanically sound, the previous owner did not maintain a consistent schedule for routine servicing or replacement of wear items. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension components, focusing on the lower arm pins and bushes flagged in 2025. The brake system has shown consistent wear on the front discs and pads across multiple tests, which is normal but warrants monitoring. The current record notes the front brake discs are worn and pitted, but not excessively weakened. Ensure the windscreen wiper mechanism is functioning correctly, as this was noted as a failure in the 2025 test, and check all tyre treads for even wear.
