2009 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · AD09 AFN

The Volkswagen Golf presents a clean roadworthiness record with its most recent pass dated 25 September 2024 at 168,489 miles showing no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle cleared its 2022, 2023, and 2024 tests without corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions concerns noted by the tester. Recorded mileage rose from 144,181 on 9 September 2022 to 156,924 on 20 September 2023, then to 168,489 on 25 September 2024. That equates to roughly 12,700 miles in the first year and 11,500 in the second, both above the lifetime average of 9,911 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual use with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. At 17 years old with 168,489 miles, the odometer sits within expected bounds for the model age. The two failed entries on 20 September 2023 and 25 September 2024 both list no defects recorded, indicating administrative or documentation failures rather than mechanical rejection. Given the absence of advisories across all tests, previous owners appear to have kept the car to a basic pass standard without deferred consumable neglect showing in the official record. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody structural integrity given the age and mileage. The MOT record offers no evidence of fault, but a 2009 Golf at 168,489 miles warrants hands-on checks of corrosion-prone sills and mounting points that a visual test may not capture.
