2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · SJ67 ABN

The 2017 Volkswagen Golf presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-04-11 confirming no defects at 96,756 miles. However, the same date shows a failed test alongside a passed result, though no specific issues were recorded. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unresolved minor faults, but the absence of recorded defects implies no critical mechanical or structural risks. The vehicle’s maintenance history lacks recurring issues, indicating consistent care. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, rising from 81,187 miles in 2023 to 96,756 miles in 2025, averaging ~10,751 miles annually. Gaps between MOT tests exceed 12 months, with the last inspection over 12 months prior to 2026-07-21, which may indicate infrequent servicing. The 2024-04-16 test at 90,120 miles and 2023-04-11 tests at 81,187 miles show no defects, reinforcing the absence of systemic wear. This clean record suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids major faults, though prolonged gaps between inspections could mask gradual deterioration. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, given the age and mileage, and inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the MOT data is reassuring, but a physical inspection is essential to confirm the integrity of the exhaust system and underbody. The repeated failed tests without recorded defects also warrant scrutiny, as they may indicate unresolved minor faults or data inaccuracies that could affect long-term reliability.
