2009 Volkswagen Beetle 1.6L Petrol · RF09 MYV

The 2025‑07‑25 MOT at 35,826 miles passed with no defects, indicating a stable and current roadworthiness status. The test shows no immediate mechanical failures. The mileage has risen steadily from 28,684 miles in August 2022 to 35,826 miles in July 2025, a gain of 7,142 miles over three years, or roughly 2,380 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 17‑year age and suggests regular, light‑to‑moderate use rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should examine the front suspension components, particularly the off‑side shocker dust cover and the track‑rod end ball joint, which have repeatedly shown damage or deterioration; the condition of the front brake discs and inner pads, noted as worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, also warrants close inspection. The inoperative hazard warning lamps, direction indicators and ineffective wiper blade must be tested, as must the condition of the windscreen and any underlying rust or structural corrosion that may have developed during the periods of lower mileage. Given the low annual mileage and the absence of recent major faults, the vehicle appears well maintained, but verification that the previously flagged suspension and brake issues have been fully remedied and that the lighting and wiper systems function correctly is essential before purchase.
