2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · AX17 LZE

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state, having passed its most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 49,795 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is currently stable, as the car has moved from flagging minor consumable issues in previous years to a clean certificate. This progression suggests that the previous owner has addressed the mechanical and wearrelated items identified in earlier inspections. At nine years old, the recorded 49,795 miles represent a low average of approximately 5,500 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the national average. The usage pattern appears consistent, with annual intervals of roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles recorded between 2021 and 2025. This low mileage generally indicates less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to rubber-based components perishing over time if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and tyre condition. The 2021 record noted that the near-side and offside front tyres were wearing to the inside edges, which is a classic sign of incorrect camber or an alignment issue. While the 2024 test flagged a cracked offside rear tyre, the buyer must verify that the current set of tyres does not show similar uneven wear. Additionally, although the 2022 advisory regarding thin rear brake pads was likely resolved, a visual check of the remaining pads and disc surfaces is advisable to ensure no pitting has occurred from the low-mileage usage cycles.
