2012 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF S TSI1.2L Petrol

The vehicle, a 2012 Volkswagen Golf S TSI, passed its most recent MOT test on 2025-08-11 at 58,606 miles, with no defects recorded. This recent test and the fact that there are no recurring faults suggest a stable maintenance trend, albeit with a notable exception prior to this recent test. The vehicle failed its MOT test in July 2025 at 58,376 miles, though no defects were recorded on that occasion either. The mileage pattern is noteworthy, with the vehicle having accumulated only 4,186 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could indicate lighter use or extended periods of standing, though it also means that certain consumables may be due for replacement or wear may be less pronounced on suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. The MOT history shows a relatively clean record, with no notable gaps or rapid mileage accumulation. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person, paying particular attention to the brake system, as the vehicle failed its MOT test in July 2025, though no defects were recorded on that occasion. The tester may have flagged binding rear brakes, which is a serious issue that should be investigated further. Additionally, the vehicle's suspension should be inspected for signs of wear or damage, as the low mileage may mask underlying issues. The buyer should also check for any signs of corrosion, which can be a concern on older vehicles.
