2009 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · DB04 FLY

The 2009 Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 November 2025 at 87,318 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the recorded MOT cycle. Recorded mileage sits at 87,318 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 5,136 miles per year and confirming light use for the model. The tests show 70,302 miles on 1 July 2022, 70,983 on 24 August 2023, 77,831 on 4 September 2024, and 87,318 on 4 November 2025. The sparse gap between July 2022 and August 2023 reflects only 681 miles in thirteen months, then a steadier annual rise near 7,000 to 9,500 miles. The single failed entry on 1 July 2022 carries no listed defect, suggesting an administrative or incomplete-test rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the low mileage and likely periods of standing that accelerate rubber perishing and surface corrosion. The DVSA record shows no structural integrity concerns or exhaust emission failures, yet long idle spells can hide binding brakes or degraded tyres not captured on a pass certificate. Given the clean MOT trail and low annual coverage, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic statutory testing discipline. Verify underside condition and flexible components physically, as the absence of advisories does not exempt a 2009 vehicle from age-related wear unseen during a pass.
