Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 5 November 2026: the latest record we hold ran out on 2 November 2026; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It failed its MOT on 1 November 2025 (offside headlamp not working on dipped beam; nearside headlamp aim too high; nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt; and 1 more) and passed 2 days later, on 3 November 2025.

There were no advisories at the latest test.

Mileage at that test: 130,556 miles. The advert says 120,111 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.

Advertised mileage is about 49,900 miles higher than the median mileage of a 2011 Volkswagen Polo on AskCar.
