2012 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Petrol · YP62 FUG

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 122,521 miles returned a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, suggesting that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they could result in a test failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,750 miles per year. Between August 2022 and March 2026, the car covered 32,203 miles, maintaining a steady usage pattern of roughly 8,000 miles annually. This regularity suggests the car has not been subjected to long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals, nor intensive high-mileage cycles that would accelerate wear on drivetrain components. While the MOT history is clean, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to age-related degradation and wear over 120,000 miles. The buyer should inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for corrosion, as these are common points of failure on this model. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs for thinning or pitting is necessary, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than the overall condition of the hardware.
