2009 Volkswagen Beetle 1.4L Petrol · P175 BUG

The 2025-07-24 MOT at 54,191 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition. The mileage has risen steadily from 40,267 miles in November 2021 to 54,191 miles by July 2025, averaging roughly 3,200 miles per year, which is low for a 17‑year‑old Beetle and suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity; the annual testing intervals show no large gaps in the documentation. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that typically show wear in a vehicle of this age and mileage, namely the suspension bushes and coil springs, the condition of the brake discs and calipers, and any signs of structural rust on the chassis rails and wheel arches. Particular attention to the rear brakes is advisable, as previous tests have flagged binding calipers in similar models, and to the exhaust system for corrosion that could affect emissions. Inspecting tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and confirming that any previous advisories have been fully remedied will complete the due‑diligence check.
