2009 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · NX59 RGV

This vehicle presents as mechanically stable with a consistent record of roadworthiness. The most recent test on 12 August 2025 at 53,556 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 3,150 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 49,528 miles and August 2025 at 53,556 miles, the car covered only 4,028 miles over three years. This pattern indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used exclusively for short, infrequent trips. Low-use vehicles often suffer from specific degradation not captured in a clean MOT history. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system for binding calipers or pitted brake discs caused by moisture and inactivity. The tyres should be checked for flat spots or perishing, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion or suspension bushes over the last four tests is positive. However, given the age and low mileage, checking for perished engine mounts and the condition of the coolant and oil is essential. The record suggests a well-preserved example, but the lack of wear-and-tear faults may simply be a result of the car not being driven enough to stress its components.
