2004 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Petrol · AF04 YNG

The Volkswagen Golf presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 24 November 2025 at 110,792 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the vehicle clearing every annual examination once minor administrative re-tests were completed. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories appear in the official record. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 22-year-old vehicle, totalling 110,792 miles or roughly 5,036 miles per year. Between the 28 November 2023 failure and the 29 November 2023 pass at 105,892 miles, then through to 24 November 2025 at 110,792 miles, the car covered only about 4,900 miles across two years. The sparse, clean MOT data gives little evidence of heavy drivetrain strain, though long stationary periods implied by low annual mileage can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unnoticed. The November 2024 and November 2023 entries show the car failing and passing on consecutive days at identical mileages, with no defects listed on either attempt. This pattern suggests documentation or presentation issues at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, and underbody structural integrity, as the MOT record offers no advisories to confirm these items remain within tolerance. Given the low mileage and absence of flagged wear, previous owners likely kept basic upkeep current but the record alone cannot confirm consumable condition. Examine tyre sidewalls, exhaust emissions under load, and any signs of standing-water corrosion before purchase.
