2002 Volkswagen Bora 1.9L Diesel · RV02 ATX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a clean MOT record over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in June 2025 at 116,484 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of consistent results in 2023 and 2024, indicating that the current owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets minimum safety requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,854 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression between October 2021 and June 2025, where the car covered 2,965 miles over nearly four years. There is a significant gap in usage between June 2023 and July 2024, where only 1,322 miles were recorded. While low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, it often increases the risk of rubber component degradation and fluid stagnation due to periods of inactivity. Despite the clean test history, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to age and low-mileage neglect. The buyer should check the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches for corrosion, which is a common failure point for this era of Volkswagen. Inspect the suspension bushes and rubber boots for cracking or perish rot, as these degrade over time regardless of miles driven. Given the low usage, verify the brake discs for pitting or surface rust which often occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods.
