2013 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF1.6L Diesel

The 2025-10-09 MOT at 46,171 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance record shows a stable, consistent trend. No recurring faults have been logged since the 2016 test. The mileage progression from 31,326 miles in November 2016 to 46,171 miles in October 2025 reflects an average annual increase of roughly 1,500 miles, well below the typical wear rate for a 13‑year‑old car, indicating light usage or extended periods of inactivity; the only notable gap is the five‑year interval between the 2017 and 2018 tests, during which mileage rose by 1,978 miles, but subsequent yearly increments have remained steady and modest. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear or binding, examine the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, inspect the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, and verify that tyre tread depth is even across the inner edge, as the 2016 test flagged the offside front tyre approaching the legal limit.
