2011 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · YY61 AZC

The 2011 Volkswagen Polo's roadworthiness status appears stable based on the most recent MOT test on 2026-02-18 at 75,876 miles, which passed with no defects recorded. This follows a failed test two days earlier on 2026-02-16 at the same mileage, but with no defects recorded, indicating a possible administrative error. The preceding tests in 2025 and 2024 also showed no defects, suggesting that the vehicle's maintenance trend is generally stable. The recorded mileage of 75,876 miles over 15 years translates to approximately 5,058 miles per year, which is relatively low for a vehicle of its age. A review of the mileage history reveals consistent annual increments: from 69,911 miles in February 2024 to 72,913 miles in February 2025, an increase of 3,002 miles, and then to 75,876 miles in February 2026, an increase of 2,963 miles. This steady and low mileage accumulation may indicate lighter use or periods of inactivity. Given the clean MOT records with no recurring faults or advisories on structural, suspension, or brake components, a buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person, focusing on general condition and any potential signs of neglect. Particular attention should be paid to checking for any signs of corrosion, verifying the integrity of suspension components such as bushes and coil springs, and ensuring the brakes are functioning correctly without any signs of wear or binding. Additionally, inspecting the tyres for uneven wear and checking the exhaust system for leaks or excessive wear can provide further insight into the vehicle's maintenance history.
