2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · AF67 PLX

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 June 2025 at 68,748 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 20 June 2023 at 49,835 miles confirms a two-year run of fault-free examinations. The vehicle shows no escalating mechanical concerns across the supplied record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,600 miles per year against the car's 2017 build, a typical usage rate for this age of vehicle. The records show 41,170 miles on 1 July 2022, 49,835 on 20 June 2023, 59,926 on 6 June 2024, and 68,748 on 3 June 2025, equating to steady yearly increments near 9,000 to 10,000 miles with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, listing only a failed test on 6 June 2024 at 59,926 miles with no defects cited, immediately followed by a pass on the same date, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car is now nine years old. The MOT history flags no corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or structural integrity issues, so serious mechanical risk appears low from the record alone. Verify the 6 June 2024 failure reason at the testing station, as the duplicated date with a no-defect fail and pass warrants confirmation it was not a concealed rectification. Otherwise, the Golf's documented care implies conscientious ownership with no skipped consumable replacements surfacing in the advisories.
