Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 5 November 2026: valid until 21 December 2026.

It failed its MOT on 22 December 2025 (offside front shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak; rear registration plate lamp does not illuminate simultaneously with the position lamps nearside and offside) and passed later the same day.

There were no advisories at the latest test.

Mileage at that test: 74,941 miles. The advert says 10,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.

Advertised mileage is about 60,600 miles lower than the median mileage of a 2009 Volkswagen Polo on AskCar.
