2017 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · A7 CRC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 1, 2026, at 38,892 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the owner consistently addressing minor failures rather than allowing recurring mechanical issues. The most recent failure involved a significant structural cut to the offside rear inner tyre reaching the cords, which was rectified immediately to secure a passing result. This suggests the owner is responsive to safety-critical defects once they are identified by the tester. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 38,892 miles is significantly below average, averaging approximately 4,321 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the records between November 2020 and March 2022, where the vehicle likely sat stationary for sixteen months. Since 2022, the mileage accumulation has remained consistent, adding roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles annually. This low usage profile generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to components like brakes seizing from infrequent use. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry specifically, as the April 2023 test at 26,611 miles flagged both front tyres for uneven wear on the inner edges. This pattern often indicates an misalignment or worn control arm bushes that may require professional attention. While the headlamp aim failure in 2025 was a simple adjustment issue, the buyer should ensure all lighting remains correctly aligned. Given the low annual mileage, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or binding calipers, which frequently occur when a vehicle is left parked for extended periods between uses.
