2009 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · MT59 KUB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 149,445 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was noted in January 2025, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed the necessary mechanical repairs promptly without delay. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per annum. The record shows a steady accumulation of miles, with 6,827 miles driven between January 2023 and 2024, and another 7,159 miles between January 2024 and January 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent seal degradation and fuel-related issues. Given the clean results of the last three tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to wear at this age and mileage. At nearly 150,000 miles, an inspection of the suspension arm bushes, coil, and shock absorbers is essential to check for perished rubber or fluid leaks. The buyer should also examine the underside for structural corrosion on the sills and brake lines, as the MOT only flags significant surface rust once it reaches a specific threshold of decay.
