2009 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · AF09 WHR

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 19 May 2025 at 111,583 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly on 12 December 2023 at 108,409 miles. The history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the recorded entries, indicating consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards over the observed period. The mileage pattern reflects typical use for a 2009 registered vehicle, averaging roughly 6,564 miles per year against the current 111,583 miles. A notable gap exists between the 3 March 2022 test at 106,954 miles and the December 2023 tests at 108,406 to 108,409 miles, showing only light annual accumulation of around 1,200 miles across that span. The two failed tests on 3 March 2022 and 4 December 2023 both listed no defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical non-compliance, with immediate passes logged on the same days. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns in the official record, the buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection. At 17 years old and over 111,000 miles, consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition require verification despite the clean MOT trail. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass entries imply the previous keepers addressed any minor test anomalies promptly rather than deferring repairs. This behaviour, combined with the sparse but clean advisory history, suggests basic upkeep was maintained even if documentation lacks granular detail on wear components.
