2010 Volkswagen FOX 1.2L Petrol · LD10 DCU

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 89,706 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of successful tests over the last three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 5,607 miles per year. However, the data reveals a significant spike in usage recently. Between the August 2023 test at 61,994 miles and the September 2024 test at 71,155 miles, the car covered 9,161 miles. This increased activity continued into the October 2025 test, where the odometer reached 89,706 miles, representing a further 18,551 miles in just over a year. This shift from light use to higher annual mileage may accelerate the wear of consumables. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no recorded advisories or specific defects across multiple years. While this suggests a well-maintained vehicle, the lack of any flagged wear on a sixteen-year-old car is atypical. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation that may not have triggered a failure. Given the low overall mileage followed by a recent period of heavier use, checking for signs of corrosion on the underbody and sills is essential. The record shows two instances where the car failed and passed within 24 hours, specifically in August 2023 and October 2025. While the defects were not detailed in the summary, these rapid turnarounds usually indicate the rectification of minor faults like blown bulbs or wiper blades.
