2009 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · AG09 SLZ

The Volkswagen Golf presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 2 October 2024 at 155,989 miles, and the maintenance trend across the supplied records reads as stable with no advisories or defects logged at any stage. The most recent test followed a same-day failure on 2 October 2024 at identical mileage where the tester recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed on 18 September 2023 at 155,338 miles after a defect-free failure on 6 September 2023 at 155,334 miles, again showing no listed faults. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,176 miles per year against the car's 2009 build, a typical figure for a seventeen-year-old hatchback now showing 155,989 miles. The records show a large jump of 22,651 miles between the 6 September 2022 pass at 132,854 miles and the September 2023 tests near 155,334 miles, then only 651 miles accrued across the following year to October 2024. Such a drop in use suggests the car entered lighter service or stood idle for periods in its final recorded year. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as the MOT record logs no advisories that would flag wear on these consumable items. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pattern at 155,989 miles and the 2023 near-identical mileage failures with no defects point to clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than owner neglect of mechanical upkeep. Given the absence of corrosion, emissions, or structural integrity concerns across all five entries, the Golf's documented history implies reasonable care, though the sparse record leaves brake caliper binding and exhaust condition unverified for the current date.
