2009 Volkswagen FOX 1.2L Petrol · DF59 FXA

The 2025‑12‑15 MOT at 90,017 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend is stable. Earlier failures on 19 December 2023 and 16 December 2024 also showed no defects, indicating that any previous issues were resolved without recurring faults. At an average of 5,295 miles per year, the Fox’s recorded mileage is low for a 17‑year‑old model, suggesting periods of limited use or stationary storage. The 30‑mile increase between 19 December 2023 and 4 January 2024, followed by an 8,978‑mile rise to 81,671 miles by 16 December 2024 and a further 8,346‑mile gain to the current reading, show a modest but steady accumulation after early 2024, with no abrupt mileage spikes. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes, coil spring fatigue, and any binding rear calipers, as these components often exhibit wear despite low mileage. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or corrosion, and verify that the structural chassis shows no rust at the sill, wheel arch, and underbody seams. Finally, examine the exhaust system for corrosion and the condition of the tyre tread, which, while low in wear, may indicate infrequent use.
