2009 Volkswagen FOX 1.2L Petrol · LS59 RFZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 122,774 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and electrical systems met minimum legal standards. This follows a period of clean results since 2023, suggesting that the current owner is addressing minor issues before they become failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Data shows a steady accumulation of roughly 5,500 miles between July 2024 and July 2025, and another 5,500 miles between August 2023 and July 2024. This regular usage suggests the car does not sit for long periods, which is often beneficial for maintaining seals and brake components, preventing the dry-rot or corrosion typically associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on rubber components and hardware despite the recent clean records. The August 2022 test at 107,076 miles flagged all four tyres for perishing and cracking, a common issue on older vehicles with lower-than-average mileage. Given the age of the Fox, a close inspection of the tyre sidewalls and the condition of suspension bushes and bolts is necessary. While the 2023 failure for a washer pump and registration plate lamp represented minor electrical oversights, the lack of structural advisories in the record suggests the chassis remains sound for now.
