2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · YJ67 KRB

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy; the most recent MOT on 20 February 2026 at 50,746 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the earlier failure on 6 February 2024 has been remedied and the maintenance trend is improving. Mileage has risen from 21,108 miles in February 2021 to 50,746 miles in February 2026, an average of roughly 6,300 miles per year. The increments between each annual test are consistent – 21,108 → 25,120 → 31,422 → 37,939 → 44,531 → 50,746 miles – showing no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps that would suggest periods of neglect or excessive short‑term use. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the near‑side track‑rod end ball‑joint dust cover, the component that prompted the 2024 failure. Verify that the dust cover is intact, securely fitted and free of corrosion, and that the joint itself shows no play or binding. While the MOT record shows no brake or suspension advisories, a visual check of the suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs for wear or rust is prudent. Inspect tyres for tread depth and wiper blades for condition, as these consumables are not captured by the MOT but affect safety and running costs.
