2002 Volkswagen Bora 1.6L Petrol · AY02 WSO

The 2002 Volkswagen Bora presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 March 2026 at 54,943 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since March 2024. The brief failure on 13 March 2023 at 50,862 miles was corrected two days later with no defects listed, indicating the car was brought back to standard without structural or mechanical concern. Recorded mileage sits at 54,943 against a 24-year lifespan, an average of roughly 2,289 miles per year. The owner added only 877 miles between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests and 1,835 miles across the prior year. Such low annual use points to light running or extended standing periods rather than wear from high mileage. The MOT file shows no advisories across the last four passes, so the data gives no evidence of escalating consumable or structural issues. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on corrosion to suspension subframes, coil spring seats, and sills given the vehicle's age and likely intermittent use. Standing time accelerates underbody rust and flat-spots tyres even when odometer gains stay low. Check brake calipers for seizure and verify fluid condition, as dormant brakes degrade without road heat. The clean record implies prior owners kept statutory tests current, but the absence of advisories means latent wear on bushes and discs was not formally flagged for the buyer to rely upon.
