2017 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · CF17 AEW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 5 June 2025 at 76,850 miles resulted with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and environmental standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the vehicle sufficiently to avoid recurring failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Between April 2022 at 48,308 miles and June 2024 at 69,508 miles, the car covered over 21,000 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. A brief anomaly occurred in April 2023 when the vehicle failed at 59,180 miles but passed just four miles later on the same day. This suggests a minor, rectified issue that was addressed immediately without indicating a deeper mechanical neglect. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the recent history, a buyer should focus on a physical inspection of components that wear naturally at this mileage bracket. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber, as the MOT does not always test for play until they fail. Since the record does not flag previous corrosion or brake binding issues, checking the underside for structural rust and verifying the condition of the brake discs remains advisable to ensure the physical state matches the clean digital history.
