2010 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · AF10 UOL

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 24 February 2026 at 104,061 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The February 2026 test passed with no defects recorded, though it followed a same-day failure at 104,060 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly in March 2025 at 93,705 miles and April 2024 at 92,370 miles, showing no recurring advisories or worsening condition over the trailing two years. The mileage pattern sits at roughly 6,500 miles per year against a 16-year-old vehicle, which is typical for the age and suggests light-to-moderate use. The record shows a jump of 1,335 miles between April 2024 and March 2025, then a larger 10,356-mile increase by February 2026, implying the car saw heavier use in its most recent year. The MOT data is sparse and clean throughout, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion, so no wear-driven trends are visible in the official record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's 2010 build date and the absence of any advisory history that might mask slow rust progression. The same-day fail-pass in February 2026 warrants confirmation that no genuine defect was suppressed at retest. Check brake discs, coil springs, and suspension mounts in person, as these consumable items drew no MOT comment yet remain prone to age-related fatigue on a Golf of this vintage.
