VOLKSWAGEN GOLF2017 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 January 2026 at 61,710 miles yielded no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids the mechanical or structural failures typically flagged by the DVSA during the annual MOT testing process. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 25,707 miles and January 2026 at 61,710 miles, the car covered 36,003 miles, reflecting a moderate usage pattern. This steady progression suggests minimal excessive wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples of this age. The lack of significant gaps in mileage between tests suggests the car has been used regularly, which helps prevent seal degradation and internal corrosion in brake lines. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults such as binding calipers or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on consumable wear items that fall outside the scope of the MOT test. Given the low mileage, the buyer should check the condition of rubber-based components like suspension bushes and wiper blades for cracking due to age rather than use. Additionally, inspecting the brake discs for surface pitting or deep rust is advisable, as low-use vehicles can sometimes develop surface oxidation if not driven frequently enough to clear the rotors.
