2017 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · AX17 CCN

The 2025‑05‑29 MOT at 69,389 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. The 2024‑06‑07 and 2023‑05‑15 passes show consistent results, while the two 2023‑05‑15 failures had no defects noted, suggesting the issues were minor or resolved. At nine years old, the vehicle averages 7,710 miles per year, a figure typical for its class. However, the mileage jump from 37,593 miles in May 2023 to 53,946 miles in June 2024 represents an increase of 16,353 miles in just over eleven months, and the subsequent rise to 69,389 miles by May 2025 adds another 15,443 miles in the following year, indicating periods of intensive use. The two tests on 28 and 29 May 2025 were conducted within a day of each other at nearly identical mileage. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, verify that the rear brake calipers move freely and that the discs show no scoring or excessive wear, and inspect the chassis rails and wheel arches for structural rust that could compromise integrity. Tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and exhaust emission levels also merit close attention. Although the MOT history lists no defects, the rapid mileage accumulation and the two same‑day tests suggest the previous owner may have postponed deeper inspections; a thorough visual and functional check of the braking system, suspension components, and any signs of corrosion is essential before purchase.
