2017 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · AY14 CAM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. Although the most recent test on August 16, 2025 at 78,620 miles initially resulted in a failure, the car passed immediately with no recorded defects. This suggests a minor, easily rectified issue that was addressed prior to the retest. Since July 2022, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any recorded failures or advisories. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. With 78,620 miles recorded, the car averages approximately 8,700 miles per year. The data shows steady progression between tests, moving from 44,257 miles in July 2022 to 57,784 miles in August 2023, and then to 68,292 miles by August 2024. This regularity indicates the vehicle has been used consistently rather than sitting idle, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals and components that suffer from long periods of inactivity. Given the lack of recorded faults or advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear and tear components that do not always trigger an MOT failure. A buyer should inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and control arm bolts, as these often degrade at this mileage bracket. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear or signs of thinning is also advisable, alongside a visual check of the underside for surface corrosion to ensure the structural integrity remains sound as the clean record suggests.
