2016 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · 44 ABX

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 92,512 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since December 2022. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 9,250 miles, consistent with typical use for a 2016 vehicle. The records show steady annual increments: 72,067 miles in December 2022, 78,896 in December 2023, 85,475 in December 2024, and 92,512 in December 2025. A failed test on 16 December 2022 at 72,066 miles was followed three days later by a pass at 72,067 miles, with no defects listed on either entry. This suggests the failure was administrative or resolved without recorded mechanical fault, and the owner acted promptly to retest. No advisories or defects appear across the entire history, so the MOT record gives no indication of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. The absence of flagged items implies previous owners kept the car to a standard that satisfied testers without noted consumable neglect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of brake discs, coil springs, and underbody corrosion, as MOT passes do not certify component life remaining. Verify the three-day December 2022 failure and retest with the selling garage to confirm no suppressed fault. Otherwise the documentary history supports a clean, low-risk purchase.
