2015 Volkswagen Polo 1.2L Petrol · YY65 WLB

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following a specific mechanical failure. The most recent test in November 2025 at 60,675 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified. This suggests the current owner is responsive to MOT defects once they are flagged, rather than allowing mechanical issues to escalate into major failures. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 60,675 miles represents relatively low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a gap of roughly 9,300 miles between the December 2023 and November 2024 tests. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to accelerated aging of rubber components and the degradation of brake fluids due to longer periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection specifically on the front suspension geometry. The November 2024 failure at 57,103 miles highlighted excessive wear on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent test, an inspector should verify that these components were replaced correctly and that there is no residual play or steering pull during a drive. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding a worn nearside tyre suggests a need to check current alignment settings to ensure the suspension geometry is not causing uneven tyre wear.
