2013 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · YR13 ACU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test on 1 October 2025, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately. The mileage is low for a thirteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,807 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between October 2022 at 44,925 miles and September 2023 at 62,640 miles, where the car covered over 17,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the accumulation has slowed significantly, adding only 6,155 miles between September 2023 and October 2025. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion over the last four years. This lack of flagged defects suggests a consistent level of care or very light duty cycles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often perish during periods of low usage or standing. Check for perished tyre sidewalls, battery health, and any signs of brake caliper seizing, as these issues often bypass MOT tests if the vehicle is not driven hard. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes occurred regardless of the low annual mileage.
