2009 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · AD09 YSF

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 30 July 2025 at 174,552 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The July 2025 test recorded a pass and a prior fail on the same date at identical mileage with no defects logged, mirroring a duplicate fail and pass pattern from 29 July 2024 at 168,367 and 168,369 miles. These paired entries with no recorded faults suggest administrative re-test or data-entry anomalies rather than mechanical defects, and the vehicle cleared cleanly at each valid pass. The odometer shows 174,552 miles against a 2009 build, equating to roughly 10,268 miles per year and sitting within typical use for the age. Annual accumulation has been consistent: 161,907 miles in July 2023, 168,369 in July 2024, and 174,552 in July 2025, a steady ~6,500-mile yearly increment with no gaps or sudden spikes. The DVSA history is sparse and clean, listing no advisories, corrosion notes, or worn consumables across any test, which limits insight into underlying wear but indicates no flagged concerns at official inspection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high mileage and 17-year age, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm component life remaining. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants visual checks for hidden rust not captured in the records. The duplicated fail-pass entries on test days imply previous owners used same-day re-tests; verify the V5C and service history to confirm routine upkeep was not deferred despite the clean MOT trail.
