2009 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · LP59 RBV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a successful recent MOT test. The most recent test conducted on 11 December 2025 at 164,495 miles resulted in no recorded defects, despite a failure noted just one day prior at 164,476 miles. This specific sequence suggests a clerical error or a minor component issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2024, the car has maintained a clean pass record without advisories, indicating a consistent level of mechanical upkeep over the last eighteen months. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,676 miles per annum. Between December 2023 and December 2024, the car covered 11,247 miles, which represents standard annual usage. The subsequent interval between December 2024 and December 2025 saw an increase to 12,651 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than experiencing long periods ofກັບ, which generally helps prevent internal seals from drying and rubber components from degrading due to age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system and braking components, given the vehicle has surpassed 160,000 miles. While the MOT record shows no current defects, the age of the Golf makes the presence of worn control arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers likely. Inspect the brake discs for pitting and check the thickness of the pads, as high mileage vehicles often experience accelerated wear on consumables. Also examine the chassis for structural corrosion to ensure the integrity remains sound despite the clean test history.
