2010 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · YR10 ABX

This Volkswagen Polo presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 29 April 2025 at 140,018 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 28 April 2025 and 13 May 2023, these failures were resolved immediately on the same or following day, suggesting a proactive approach to rectification. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,751 miles per year. Between 13 May 2023 and 8 May 2024, the car covered 6,178 miles. A more significant increase occurred between May 2024 and April 2025, where the odometer rose by 6,775 miles. This steady usage pattern indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which typically helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a sixteen year old vehicle with 140,018 miles. The record shows no mentions of corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or thinning brake discs. This lack of data suggests either an exceptionally well-maintained chassis or a very lenient testing history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and common wear points that the MOT record fails to highlight. Check the sills and wheel arches for surface rust and inspect the condition of the coil springs. Given the mileage, a manual check of the clutch bite point and engine mounts is recommended to ensure the drivetrain remains tight.
