2016 Volkswagen Golf 1.2L Petrol · AV65 YOP

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 19 September 2025 at 124,545 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they reached a point of failure during the MOT testing. The mileage profile reflects a consistently high-usage pattern, averaging approximately 12,400 miles per annum. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 73,572 miles, with a notable jump of 24,401 miles recorded in the year between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This steady accumulation indicates the car has been used regularly for motorway commuting rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and mechanical components. The lack of recorded advisories despite this high mileage points to a disciplined approach to vehicle upkeep. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must focus on components subject to accelerated wear at the 124,000-mile mark. Physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, which often fatigue under high-mileage stress. Given the age and usage levels, checking the brake discs for thinning and ensuring there is no lateral caliper binding is essential, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than remaining component life. A close look at the chassis for structural corrosion is also warranted to ensure the high mileage has not led to undetected road salt damage or underbody wear.
