2010 Volkswagen FOX 1.2L Petrol · FG60 ULC

The Volkswagen Fox presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 11 November 2025 at 73,963 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The November 2025 test bookended a same-day failure with no defects logged, mirroring an identical pattern from 5 November 2024 at 66,040 miles where a failure was followed by a pass on the same date with no faults recorded. Such paired fail-pass entries with zero advisories or defects suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical non-compliance, and the vehicle has carried no outstanding advisories since the clean pass of 15 November 2023 at 58,256 miles. The odometer shows 73,963 miles against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 4,623 miles per year. Annual accumulation has been consistent and low: 7,784 miles between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, then 7,923 miles to November 2025. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the chain. The sparse three-year record with clean passes and no advisories implies the previous keeper used the car lightly and kept it to a basic statutory test standard, though the absence of recorded wear items means consumable condition was either within limits or simply not flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's sixteen-year age and the limit of MOT evidence to pass-day condition. The repeated same-day fail-pass cycles with no defects warrant a check of the VIN and test documentation to confirm no suppressed mechanical entries exist on the DVLA side. Corrosion on sills and subframes should be examined closely, as structural integrity is not guaranteed by a defect-free sheet on a low-mileage car that may have stood unused for extended periods.
