2010 Volkswagen FOX 1.2L Petrol · VA59 OSB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on May 28, 2025 at 111,296 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of stability after a period of apparent inconsistency. While the car failed multiple tests in early 2024, the 2025 result returned no recorded defects, indicating that the previous mechanical or safety issues were addressed and the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. The recorded mileage of 111,296 miles over 16 years averages an annual usage of approximately 6,956 miles. This low rate is consistent with a light-use profile, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, the data shows a notable cluster of activity between February 2024 and May 2024, where the vehicle covered only 186 miles across three separate tests. This suggests the car may have been sitting stationary or was undergoing specific repairs during that window, which can sometimes lead to rubber degradation or surface corrosion on brake components. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the areas that likely caused the 2024 failures, although the provided record does not explicitly list the defect codes. Given the age of the Volkswagen Fox, the priority is checking structural integrity, specifically the rear sills and subframe points where corrosion is common. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the brakes for binding calipers, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized components due to inactivity. Examine the tyres for age-related cracking, ensuring the rubber has not perished despite sufficient tread depth.
