2009 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Petrol · AF09 WXZ

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 10 March 2025 at 70,280 miles where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The test history shows no advisories or failures carrying mechanical faults across the full five-year span reviewed. This clean run from 2022 through 2025 indicates the previous keeper addressed consumable and structural items before each annual examination. The odometer sat at 52,954 miles on 11 March 2022, rose to 56,058 miles by 2 March 2023, then 59,748 miles on 11 March 2024, and reached 70,280 miles at the 10 March 2025 test. That equates to roughly 4,100 miles per year against the car's 2009 build date, a low figure for a 17-year-old hatchback. The jump of 10,532 miles between March 2024 and March 2025 is the only accelerated period; prior years stayed near 3,000 to 4,000 miles. Low overall use suggests long standing intervals, which can age rubber bushes and brake calipers even without high wear. A duplicate entry on 10 March 2025 shows one failed line with no defects logged alongside the pass, a common DVSA administrative quirk rather than a mechanical rejection. The record flags no corrosion, suspension wear, brake binding, or exhaust issues at any point. Buyers should still verify underbody structural integrity and suspension bushes in person, as a car of this age and low mileage may hide perished components the tester did not record. Given the absence of advisories, the Golf reflects careful upkeep with no skipped basic maintenance. Inspect tyre sidewalls for cracking from standing, check brake discs for light rust, and confirm the mileage is genuine against service stamps before purchase.
