2002 Volkswagen Bora 1.9L Diesel · DA02 VOY

The Volkswagen Bora presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 November 2025 at 215,390 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2023 to 2024 also closed as passes with no advisories. The record shows no escalating faults, no structural corrosion flags, and no recurring mechanical defects across the observed period. The odometer sat at 212,282 miles for the October 2023 tests, rose to 214,201 miles by October 2024, and reached 215,390 miles by November 2025. That equates to roughly 1,900 miles in the first year and 1,189 miles in the second, well below the 8,975-mile annual average for a 24-year-old car. The low recent accumulation suggests lighter use or periods of standing, though the sparse history gives only a thin view of component condition between tests. The October 2024 and October 2023 entries each show a fail immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage, with no defects listed in either outcome. This pattern points to administrative or presentation anomalies in the DVSA log rather than confirmed mechanical faults, so no specific suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust issues are evidenced by the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive items not captured by a clean MOT: suspension arms and subframe corrosion, brake caliper seizure from low use, and perished rubber mounts. The high 215,390-mile total means clutch, turbo, and timing components carry substantial life expectancy risk despite the absent advisories.
