2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · YC68 CTY

The 2018 Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 3 September 2025 at 45,809 miles which recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 2021 through 2025 returned a pass with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical condition or recurring fault patterns across its recorded history. The mileage record shows consistently low annual use for an eight-year-old car. The tester logged 16,992 miles on 23 September 2021, rising to 23,782 by 20 September 2022, 30,050 on 19 September 2023, 37,902 on 12 September 2024, and 45,809 on 3 September 2025. This equates to roughly 5,700 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps between tests, suggesting steady light commuting rather than prolonged standing or high-load driving. Given the clean MOT history with zero advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the previous owner clearly kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion and brake caliper operation, as MOT passes at low mileage can miss early-age deterioration not yet at test thresholds. Prospective purchasers should verify service records independently and check tyre sidewall condition and wiper blades, minor consumables the MOT would not flag if within limits. The absence of flagged faults implies responsible ownership, but low mileage alone does not exempt the Polo from age-related rubber perishing or fluid degradation.
