2009 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · LL09 OKM

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 14 July 2025 at 63,862 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance history where the vehicle has met all regulatory standards without the recurring mechanical or structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old Volkswagen, averaging approximately 3,757 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2025, the car covered only 2,391 miles, moving from 61,471 to 63,862 miles. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, it also increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry due to long periods of inactivity. Given that the MOT history shows no faults, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to time-based decay and storage. A buyer must check the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and floor pans, as these areas often suffer regardless of low mileage. The inspector should also examine suspension bushes and perished boots for cracking, and verify that brake calipers are not seized or binding, which frequently occurs when vehicles are driven infrequently.
