Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 6 November 2026: valid until 17 April 2027.

It failed its MOT on 14 April 2026 (nearside rear position lamp not working; nearside track rod end ball joint dust cover excessively damaged or deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt) and passed 1 day later, on 15 April 2026.

Advisories at the latest test: rear tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing both.

Mileage at that test: 73,568 miles. The advert says 61,878 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.

Advertised mileage is about 9,700 miles lower than the median mileage of a 2012 Volkswagen Polo on AskCar.
