2012 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · AF12 KLD

The vehicle's most recent MOT history shows an improving trend in terms of pass results, following a failure in October 2025. The October 2025 test recorded a failure on 13 October, but the vehicle achieved a pass the following day on 14 October 2025 with no defects or advisories noted. This follows a clean pass in October 2024. The record shows two failures in the last three years, specifically in October 2023 and October 2025, though both were resolved immediately to achieve a pass. The recorded mileage of 70,574 miles reflects a low annual average of approximately 5,041 miles over the vehicle's 14-year lifespan. While the MOT history provides specific dates for testing, the records do not list the individual mileage readings for each year, making it impossible to track precise annual mileage fluctuations or identify periods of long-term inactivity. The data confirms the vehicle has undergone annual testing consistently since at least 2023. Because the recent MOT failures did not specify the exact mechanical cause in the provided summary, a physical inspection is necessary to identify the nature of the previous defects. A buyer should specifically examine the braking system for binding calipers or worn discs, and inspect the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for signs of deterioration. Given the low annual mileage, the vehicle should also be checked for signs of corrosion on the underside or exhaust system, as vehicles used less frequently can sometimes develop surface rust due to moisture retention.
