2010 Volkswagen FOX 1.2L Petrol · ND10 HDN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in July 2025 at 86,110 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a significant failure in June 2025 which occurred just four miles prior. That previous failure identified critical issues including an incorrect headlamp aim, an exhaust back box leak, and high carbon monoxide emissions. The subsequent pass without recorded defects indicates that the owner addressed the exhaust system and adjusted the lighting alignment to meet regulatory standards. At 16 years old, the recorded 86,110 miles represent low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,382 miles per year. The mileage pattern appears consistent over recent years, with roughly 4,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 4,000 miles between 2023 and 2024. While this low mileage suggests less strain on the drivetrain, long periods of inactivity can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid acidity which are not captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer should physically inspect the exhaust system to ensure the back box identified in the 2025 failure was replaced properly and not merely patched. The 2024 advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn on the edge suggests a previous wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes which should be verified to prevent immediate premature tyre wear. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough under-body check for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points is essential, as these areas often suffer on older Volkswagen models regardless of low mileage.
