2009 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · AF59 NBA

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 16 July 2025 at 81,820 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The July 2025 test shows a pass and a same-day fail with no defects recorded, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the prior four annual tests from July 2022 through July 2024 all passed cleanly with no advisories logged. Recorded mileage sits at 81,820 against a 2009 build, an average of roughly 4,813 miles per year. The car covered 7,709 miles between the July 2023 test at 70,901 miles and the July 2024 test at 77,204 miles, then 4,616 miles to the July 2025 figure. Low annual use over seventeen years suggests light running, though extended standing periods remain plausible and can age rubber components, brake calipers, and suspension bushes without high-mileage wear showing in the record. No tester flagged corrosion, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity issues across the five entries, so the history gives no evidence of recurring mechanical risk. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody condition and suspension mounts given the vehicle's age, and confirm the brake calipers are free and tyres sound, as low-use cars often develop perishing unseen by the annual test.
