2009 Volkswagen FOX 1.4L Petrol · AF09 KNO

The Volkswagen Fox presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 3 April 2025 at 69,871 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The test one day earlier on 2 April 2025 recorded a failure at the same mileage with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior passes in April 2024 at 63,922 miles and July 2023 at 62,054 miles, the latter also preceded by a no-defect failure on the same day, show no advisories or recorded wear across a two-year span. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 2009 vehicle. From the July 2023 test at 62,054 miles to April 2024 at 63,922 miles the car covered just 1,868 miles in nine months. By April 2025 it reached 69,871 miles, adding only 5,949 miles over the final twelve months of record. At roughly 4,110 miles per year averaged across seventeen years, the Fox has seen minimal annual travel, though the repeated same-day fail and pass entries indicate the vehicle may have sat idle for extended periods between tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and likely prolonged standing, which accelerates perished rubbers and surface corrosion unseen in a clean MOT record. The absence of any advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity is reassuring, yet DVSA testers log only visible defects at the time of test. Given the sparse and clean history, the Fox shows no evidence of recurring mechanical neglect or serious structural risk. The same-day failure and pass pairs point to clerical rather than workshop activity. Verify the bodywork underneath and check for binding calipers or flat-spotted tyres from storage before purchase.
