2013 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · AB10 AHB

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 10 March 2026 at 121,459 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The tester logged no defects at that examination. A failed test logged on the same date at identical mileage but with no defects recorded suggests an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle subsequently passed the same day. Annual mileage has tracked close to the expected average for a 2013 car, with the odometer reading 100,422 miles on 1 August 2022, 106,954 on 2 August 2023, 112,659 on 1 August 2024, and 121,459 on 10 March 2026. That equates to roughly 6,500 miles per year between 2022 and 2024, then a sharper 8,800-mile accumulation in the seven months to spring 2026. The record shows no long dormant periods and no excessive annual jumps that would flag abnormal drivetrain stress. The DVSA history carries no advisories or recorded defects across any test back to 2022, so no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc wear, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns are evidenced in the data. A clean sheet over four consecutive passes implies the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test rather than letting minor wear escalate. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, subframe corrosion, and suspension components given the car is now 13 years old and past 121,000 miles. Verify the circumstances of the 10 March 2026 fail with the selling garage, and confirm the timing belt and clutch history, as these are not captured by MOT but carry real risk at this mileage.
