2002 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Petrol · LN52 AHG

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 26 September 2024 at 105,690 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available annual tests from 2020 to 2024, the vehicle cleared every examination without advisories or failures. The absence of flagged coil springs, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion points to consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards over the period reviewed. Mileage data shows the car covered only 461 miles between the August 2020 test at 76,229 miles and the August 2021 test at 76,438 miles, then 99 miles by September 2022 at 76,537 miles. The keeper then added roughly 14,756 miles across the following two years, reaching 91,293 miles in September 2023 and 105,690 miles in September 2024. At approximately 4,404 miles per year averaged over 24 years, this is low for the age and suggests extended standing followed by renewed use rather than steady daily driving. Given the clean MOT history, no recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the official record for inspection. A buyer should still commission an independent appraisal of underbody structural integrity and concealed corrosion, as the tester may not have lifted the vehicle extensively. Verify the condition of consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades, and brake fluid that fall outside MOT scope. The long idle period before 2022 warrants checking for perished rubber components, seized calipers, and degraded suspension mounts that low-mileage storage can mask.
