2017 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF1.4L Petrol

This Volkswagen Golf presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 6 March 2026 at 98,666 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety and environmental standards without any immediate mechanical concerns flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 10,963 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the car covered 12,886 miles, while the period between February 2024 and February 2025 saw a higher increase of 13,571 miles. The most recent interval shows a slight decrease in usage, with 4,709 miles added between February 2025 and March 2026. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. There are no recurring failures related to suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs. A failure on 12 February 2025 was resolved within two days, though the record does not specify the defect. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion or brake binding suggests a level of preventative maintenance or a lifestyle that has avoided harsh environments. A buyer should still perform a physical check of common wear items that MOT tests may not flag as failures until they reach a critical limit. Focus on the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads. Given the mileage is approaching 100,000, verifying the service history for timing belt and water pump replacement is essential, as these are critical drivetrain components not covered by a standard MOT inspection.
