Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a relatively modern petrol Golf with a consistent MOT record. The vehicle shows a steady mileage progression and has passed its most recent inspections without recorded defects.
When viewing this AF67DYH Golf, check the service history to see if the 1.4L petrol engine has received regular oil changes, as this is vital for long-term health. Given the mileage is around 55,000 miles, ask if any major scheduled maintenance, such as spark plug replacements or brake fluid changes, has been completed recently.
Negotiate based on the fact that the vehicle has passed several MOTs without advisories, which suggests a lack of immediate wear-and-tear issues like tyre degradation or brake pad thinning. However, always verify the physical condition of the grey paintwork and interior to ensure it matches the relatively consistent mileage profile.
The 1395cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group, making it accessible for various driver profiles. Fuel economy for this 1.4L variant is typically efficient for mixed driving, though actual MPG will depend on driving style and load.
Annual running costs will include standard MOT testing, road tax, and insurance. Maintenance costs for a Volkswagen of this age typically involve routine servicing and occasional component replacements like tyres or wipers, which should be factored into your monthly budget.
Since the December 2025 MOT record shows a failure with 'no defects recorded' (likely a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately), it is prudent to ask the seller for clarification on what caused that specific failure. Inspect the brake pads, discs, and tyre tread depths, as these are common areas for MOT scrutiny.
Check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of fluid leaks or excessive corrosion, and ensure all exterior lights and indicators are functioning correctly. Given the 2017 registration, also inspect the condition of the battery and any rubber components like wiper blades or suspension bushings.
This 2017 grey Volkswagen Golf features a 1.4L petrol engine and has covered 55,012 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. The MOT history shows five recorded tests since its first registration, with the most recent pass occurring at 55,012 miles. While there was a recorded failure in December 2025, no specific defects were listed, and the vehicle has maintained a clean pass record in the preceding years.
