2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · YR64 PRV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistently stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 17 May 2025 at 45,581 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of clean passes across the last five annual tests indicates that the vehicle has remained in good mechanical condition and has not suffered from recurring component failures or progressive structural issues. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per annum. Between the September 2022 test at 31,302 miles and the June 2023 test at 32,447 miles, the car covered only 1,145 miles, suggesting periods of minimal use. However, usage increased to 6,862 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This low annual mileage suggests limited wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber and fluids. While the record shows no mechanical faults, a buyer must inspect for specific issues common to low-mileage older cars. The physical inspection should check for perished suspension bushes, cracked sidewalls, and perished brake hoses which occur due to time rather than distance. Because the car has sat for periods, the brake discs should be examined for surface pitting and the calipers for signs of seizing. Testing the structural integrity of the chassis should also be verified to ensure that the low mileage has not masked hidden corrosion.
