2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · BD67 OKU

The vehicle remains roadworthy as evidenced by its consecutive MOT passes, with the most recent test on November 10 2025 at 63,316 miles. The maintenance trend is stable but highlights a persistent mechanical issue. While the car consistently passes without failures, the recurring advisory regarding the front shock absorbers has appeared in four of the five tests, indicating a slow-developing leak that has not yet reached the threshold of a regulatory failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 29,941 miles and November 2025 at 63,316 miles, the car has covered roughly 33,000 miles. This steady interval suggests regular usage rather than long periods of stagnation which can perish seals. The narrow gap between tests indicates the vehicle has likely been used for shorter trips, which generally reduces overall wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension assembly during a physical inspection. The light misting noted since 2022 at 37,366 miles has persisted for over 26,000 miles, suggesting the shock absorbers are nearing the end of their functional life and will soon require replacement. Additionally, the age of the rear tyres should be verified against the 2022 advisory for perishing rubber, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry rot despite having sufficient tread depth. No structural corrosion or brake-related issues have appeared in the record, suggesting a well-maintained chassis.
