2009 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · AF59 VJC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-09 at 106,922 miles showed a pass with no defects, but the same date also recorded a failure with no defects listed, indicating a potential data inconsistency. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 showed similar patterns, with passes and failures recorded at identical mileages. This suggests either repeated testing on the same day or recording errors, which complicates assessing genuine maintenance trends. The absence of recorded defects in all tests implies no critical issues were identified, but the repeated failures without explanation raise questions about the accuracy of the records. The vehicle’s mileage of 106,922 miles over 17 years equates to an average of 6,290 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows consistent intervals between tests, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage accumulation. The 2023 test at 85,392 miles and 2024 test at 96,399 miles indicate steady progression, while the 2025 tests at 106,922 miles suggest the vehicle has remained in regular use. The lack of recurring defects in the records implies no systemic issues, though the repeated failures without details limit confidence in the data’s reliability. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s structural integrity, particularly for rust or corrosion, given its age. Inspect suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear, as these often degrade over time. Check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and assess the exhaust system for leaks or damage. While MOT records show no defects, the repeated testing anomalies warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical condition and address any unresolved concerns.
