How the Volkswagen Polo does at its MOT
See the MOT record for the Volkswagen Polo
DVSA's MOT test results for the model, by age and mileage. This is about the model, not this car.
What most often fails on a Volkswagen Polo at its MOT
Across 632,066 Volkswagen Polo MOT tests in 2025 (all versions together), these defects turned up most often.
- Suspension pin or bush excessively worn. On 3.0% of Volkswagen Polo tests, 2.3 times the rate for cars of the same age.
- Position lamp: not working. On 2.5% of Volkswagen Polo tests.
- Coil spring: fractured or broken. On 2.4% of Volkswagen Polo tests.
The MOT checks safety and emissions items, not the engine, clutch or gearbox, so this is one measure of how each car holds up rather than a full reliability verdict. These figures describe the model, all its versions together, not this particular car.

Modelled over 7,100 miles a year (DfT National Travel Survey, England). Ranges, not quotes — every figure here is an estimate.
- Vehicle tax (VED)Registered 2016, so road tax depends on this car's official CO2 figure, which is not on the advert: £20 a year at 100 g/km or under, rising to £790 over 255 g/km.

- Insurance (UK average)The UK average premium actually paid for comprehensive cover, £566 in Q2 2026 (ABI) — an average across every driver, postcode and car, not a quote for this one.
