2017 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF1.5L Petrol

The Volkswagen Golf has maintained a stable roadworthiness record, with all five MOT tests passing without defects. The most recent test on October 23, 2025, at 51,821 miles confirmed the vehicle's compliance with roadworthiness standards. The absence of advisories or failures suggests consistent mechanical health, though the low mileage accumulation raises questions about the vehicle's usage pattern. The recorded mileage shows a steady but low annual average of approximately 5,758 miles per year. This is unusually low for a vehicle nine years old, indicating either minimal use or extended periods of inactivity. The most recent test in October 2025 shows a 6,023-mile increase since the previous test in October 2024, which is within the expected range. However, the significant gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests, with only 7,791 miles recorded in that year, suggests the vehicle was not driven regularly or was stored for a prolonged period. This pattern of low and inconsistent mileage accumulation may have implications for the condition of consumables like tyres, wiper blades, and brake pads, as well as the overall wear on the suspension and drivetrain components. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The low mileage and potential periods of inactivity may have led to reduced wear on these components, but it also raises concerns about the vehicle's structural integrity if it has been stored for extended periods. Additionally, the absence of advisories in the MOT history does not guarantee the absence of hidden issues, such as minor corrosion or loose fasteners, which could become apparent during a closer inspection.
