VOLKSWAGEN GOLF2012 · 1.6L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 22 January 2026 at 106,677 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any noted mechanical or structural failures over the last three years. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,620 miles per year. The distance covered between the January 2025 test at 96,654 miles and the January 2026 test at 106,677 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden heavy commercial use. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no recorded advisories for consumables such as brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes. While the records show failures on 13 January 2024 and 21 January 2025, these were resolved on the same day and the DVSA record lists no specific defects for these failures. This suggests the failures were likely due to minor administrative errors or trivial items quickly rectified on site. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion, as MOT testers do not always flag early-stage surface rust on the chassis or sills. Given the lack of any recorded wear on the suspension or braking system over 20,000 miles of documented history, verifying the actual condition of the brake pads and tyre tread depths is advisable to ensure the previous owner maintained the car between official tests.
