VOLKSWAGEN GOLF2011 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection on 1 December 2025 at 60,734 miles resulted pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a successful retest in December 2024, suggesting that the previous owner was proactive in addressing the issues identified during the initial failure. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally low usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,050 miles per year. Between November 2022 and December 2025, the car covered only 14,804 miles, with a significant gap of 5,479 miles recorded in the final year shown. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of perishables and fluids that are not captured by mileage alone. While the record is clean of recurring faults, a buyer should focus on the physical condition of rubber-based components that perish over time rather than mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyres for cracking or dry rot, as low-mileage vehicles often sit for extended periods. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as infrequent use can cause the braking system to stick despite passing an MOT.
