Our Verdict
Recommended as a low-mileage city car op
Priority should be given to reviewing the service history to confirm how the vehicle was maintained during its periods of low usage. You should specifically ask for evidence that the front brake discs, binding brakes, and noisy wheel bearings flagged in November 2024 were replaced or repaired, as these are wear-and-tear items that typically require attention at this stage of a vehicle's life.
Given the 1.2L petrol engine and the vehicle's age, ensure there are no leaks around the engine bay. Check the condition of the grey exterior paint for any signs of fading or corrosion, which can occur on older city cars that have spent significant time parked.
The 1198cc petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, which should keep fuel costs relatively low. As a small-engine vehicle from 2010, it will likely fall into a modest insurance group, making it an affordable option for new or young drivers.
Maintenance costs for the Fox are typically low due to its mechanical simplicity. However, as a 16-year-old vehicle, buyers should budget for the occasional replacement of rubber components and seals. The estimated annual running cost, including tax, insurance, and fuel, is modest.
Pay close attention to the front braking system and wheel bearings. The November 2024 MOT recorded worn and pitted front discs, binding brakes, and noisy wheel bearings; while the May 2026 test was clean, a test drive is essential to ensure there is no remaining vibration or noise from the hubs.
Check all exterior lighting, specifically the rear stop lamps and indicators, following the failures and advisories recorded in 2023 and 2024. Finally, inspect the tyre tread and age, as low-mileage cars can sometimes have tyres that have perished due to age rather than wear.
This 2010 grey Volkswagen Fox has recorded 45,564 miles, which is very low for its age. The MOT history is generally positive, featuring a clean pass in May 2026 and a minor bulb failure in 2023 that was resolved on the same day. While there were several mechanical advisories in late 2024, the subsequent clean test is a positive indicator.
Aggregate MOT data for the Volkswagen Fox is not available, limiting the ability to identify model-wide failure patterns.
