Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the vehicle'
When inspecting this vehicle, ask for receipts or evidence that the rear shock absorbers and the front track rod end (which failed in 2025) were replaced with quality parts. Given the 118,344 mileage, a detailed service history is important to verify the maintenance of the 1.2L engine.
Negotiate the price based on the vehicle's age and the likelihood of further wear-and-tear items requiring attention. Check if the timing belt has been replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine type.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, which typically results in lower insurance groups and modest road tax. Fuel economy should be reasonable for a city car, though the age of the vehicle may impact real-world MPG.
Annual maintenance costs are generally low for the Fox, but buyers should budget for more frequent small repairs given the 118,000+ mileage. Typical annual costs will include tax, insurance, and a yearly service.
Pay close attention to the rear suspension; while the August 2026 failure for leaking shock absorbers was resolved for the MOT, check for any signs of instability. Similarly, inspect the front steering boots and track rod ends following the failure recorded in August 2025.
Verify the operation of the windscreen washer system, as this was a specific point of failure in the most recent MOT. General inspection should also include checking for corrosion on the underbody, which is common for vehicles of this age in the UK.
This silver 2010 Volkswagen Fox has covered 118,344 miles. The MOT history shows the vehicle has been tested annually, with the most recent test in August 2026 passing after the rectification of leaking rear shock absorbers. It represents a high-mileage example of a small petrol city car.
Specific aggregate reliability data for the Volkswagen Fox is not available, but it is generally regarded as a simple, entry-level city car.
