2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.5L Petrol · AO67 ADX

The 2017 Volkswagen Golf remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-02-25 at 29,631 miles. All tests from 2022 to 2026 show consistent passes, indicating stable maintenance practices. No advisories or failures appear in the history, suggesting the vehicle has been well cared for. The absence of recurring issues across multiple tests implies no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage of 29,631 miles over nine years equates to approximately 3,292 miles annually, significantly below the average for this age. The MOT records show gradual increases, with no abrupt spikes or extended gaps between tests. The 2022-10-26 test at 22,055 miles to the 2023-10-26 test at 25,055 miles reflects a steady 3,000-mile annual rise, aligning with the low overall mileage. This pattern suggests either infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which could affect components like suspension bushes or corrosion resistance. A physical inspection should focus on suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushings, which may degrade without regular driving. Corrosion risks persist due to the low mileage, warranting checks on underbody panels and chassis seams. While no brake-related issues were noted, the absence of wear indicators on tyres or brake discs in the records does not confirm their condition. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be verified, as these are common areas for hidden faults in older vehicles. The MOT history provides no cause for immediate concern, but a hands-on assessment remains essential.
