2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Hybrid electric · AX17 LZL

The most recent MOT from September 2025 shows the vehicle passed, but only after failing due to rear brake pads being worn down to the wear indicator. This indicates that the braking system required attention to rectify this specific defect before the vehicle could pass. The overall MOT history is largely clean and suggests a stable maintenance trend. Aside from the recent brake issue and some minor observations in 2022 regarding tyre condition and child seat obstructions, there are no recurring mechanical failures. The vehicle appears to be kept in a consistent state of repair. With roughly 54,515 miles recorded over nine years, the mileage is typical for its age, averaging about 6,000 miles per year. This level of usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy or excessive use, though it is consistent with the wear seen on consumables like brakes and tyres. When inspecting the car in person, you should prioritize checking the remaining life of the brake pads and the surface condition of the brake discs. You should also examine the tyres for any signs of cracking or perishing to ensure the previous issues with tyre condition have been addressed.
