2010 Volkswagen Golf 1.9L Diesel · DG60 AEB

The 2010 Volkswagen Golf remains roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 21 November 2025 at 124,058 miles passing without any defects. The record shows a stable maintenance trend; no faults were reported in any of the five tests over the past three years, indicating that the vehicle has been kept in acceptable condition. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the car’s age. From 28 November 2022 to 27 November 2023 the vehicle logged 5,466 miles, then 5,400 miles to 27 November 2024, and 6,464 miles to 21 November 2025. These figures average roughly 7,750 miles per year, a typical figure for a 16‑year‑old car. The brief two‑day gap between the 25 November 2024 failure and the 27 November 2024 pass at the same mileage suggests an administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. A prospective buyer should still verify the usual consumables and wear items. Inspect the tyres for tread depth and side‑wall integrity, confirm that the brake discs and pads show no excessive wear or unevenness, and check the suspension bushes and coil springs for any soft spots or corrosion. Examine the undercarriage and body panels for rust, especially around the wheel arches and rear bumper, and verify that all fluid levels (engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant) are within the correct ranges. Given the clean MOT history, the vehicle appears well maintained, but a thorough physical check will confirm that no unrecorded issues have arisen.
