2016 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · KY11 NEL

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 7 August 2025 at 76,592 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The tester recorded no defects at that test. This clean result follows a failed test on 5 August 2025 at 76,570 miles where the DVSA system logged no specific defects, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, immediately rectified two days later. Annual mileage averages 7,659 against the car's ten-year life, a typical use profile for a 2016 hatchback. The records show steady accumulation: 58,440 miles in August 2022, 64,954 by July 2023, 70,802 by August 2024, and 76,592 by August 2025. No gap or sudden spike appears. The sparse five-entry history carries no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, which indicates either conscientious upkeep or limited inspection depth from the testing stations. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the absence of advisory notes across the record. The 2025 failure with zero logged defects warrants confirmation that no outstanding recall or paperwork anomaly affects the vehicle. Check brake calipers and exhaust emissions in person, as these items drew no comment but sit beyond the scope of a clean pass certificate.
