2009 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Petrol · AD09 VKB

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 20 June 2025 at 122,478 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The latest test passed with no defects recorded, though the same date shows a prior failure entry carrying no listed defects, a pattern repeated on 9 July 2024. Such paired fail-and-pass entries on identical dates indicate administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification, and the vehicle has shown no advisory or failure faults across the three years of available data. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a 2009 vehicle, rising from 110,529 miles at the 26 June 2023 test to 118,496 miles by July 2024, then to 122,478 miles by June 2025. That equates to roughly 7,200 miles per year, consistent with the norm for the age. The record is sparse, with only three annual tests logged and no advisories or consumable wear flagged at any stage, which limits insight into owner care but shows no neglect in the tested items. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the absence of any advisory data means wear on these components is simply unrecorded rather than confirmed absent. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be physically checked, as the MOT system logs no rust findings across the period. The clean record offers reassurance on paper, but the dated fail entries with no defects suggest clerical test issues rather than evidence of rigorous mechanical scrutiny.
