2010 Volkswagen FOX 1.2L Petrol · FV60 AEB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean results recently. The most recent inspection conducted on 9 March 2026 at 47,204 miles passed with no defects recorded, maintaining a streak of clean passes since late 2023. While the vehicle failed a test on 11 December 2023, the issue was rectified within nine days to achieve a pass on retest, suggesting the previous owner was responsive to immediate repair requirements. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,950 miles per year. The data shows a significant period of inactivity between March 2023 and December 2023, where the car covered only 16 miles in nine months. Since the December 2023 test, usage has increased slightly, covering nearly 4,000 miles between the February 2025 and 2026 tests. This low annual mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it also introduces risks associated with degradation from the vehicle standing for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage, long-term storage. Check the rubber-based elements such as suspension bushes, bushings, and tyres for cracking or perish rot despite adequate tread depth. Given the infrequent use, inspect for surface corrosion on brake discs and seized calipers that can occur from disuse. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the chassis for hidden rust, as age-related oxidation occurs regardless of how few miles the vehicle has been driven.
