Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 4 November 2026: valid until 30 March 2027.

It failed its MOT on 18 March 2026 (nearside front tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm; nearside rear service brake excessively binding; offside rear service brake excessively binding) and passed later the same day.

Advisories at the latest test: offside rear shock absorbers has light misting of oil.

Mileage at that test: 110,150 miles. The advert says 10,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.

Advertised mileage is about 61,500 miles lower than the median mileage of a 2012 Volkswagen Polo on AskCar.
