2011 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Diesel · YY11 AAU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-19 at 90,703 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an adjacent failed test on the same date at 90,701 miles also showed no defects, creating an inconsistency in the records. This suggests potential data entry errors or administrative issues, though the absence of defects in all prior tests from 2023 to 2026 indicates a stable maintenance trend. No structural, braking, or suspension issues were flagged, implying the car has been well-maintained over its 15-year lifespan. The mileage progression shows a steady annual average of ~6,000–7,000 miles, aligning with typical usage for its age. A notable jump from 77,795 miles (2025-03-27) to 90,703 miles (2026-03-19) reflects a 12,908-mile increase over 12 months, which may indicate heavier use or infrequent MOTs. However, the lack of recurring defects in the MOT history suggests no significant mechanical degradation despite this accumulation. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, given the age, and inspect brake discs and calipers for wear, as these are common failure points in 15-year-old vehicles. The exhaust system and corrosion in body panels should also be checked, as these can develop over time. While the MOT records show no critical issues, the conflicting 2026 test outcome warrants further scrutiny to confirm the car’sTrue roadworthiness.
