2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · DA67 HMH

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a clean pass achieved on 29 October 2025 and no history of MOT failures. While the overall trend is stable, the record shows intermittent advisories concentrated on front-end consumables and suspension components over the last five years, though these were not present in the most recent inspection. The recorded mileage of 66,708 miles is typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,412 miles per year. This steady rate of accumulation suggests regular use without prolonged periods of inactivity, meaning the mechanical components have been subject to standard operational wear rather than the degradation associated with long-term standing or the accelerated wear of high-mileage motorway use. Attention should be paid to the front suspension and steering geometry due to previous advisories regarding inner tyre shoulder wear and oil misting from the nearside front shock absorber. During a test drive, listen for knocks or thumps when traversing uneven surfaces and feel for any instability or excessive bouncing after hitting a bump, which would indicate the shock absorber has deteriorated further. Check the current tread depth and wear pattern across the front tyres to ensure the alignment has been corrected, as repeated inner-edge wear often points to camber or tracking issues. The 2020 record noted pitted and scored front brake discs, which should be cross-referenced with the current condition of the braking system. During the test drive, perform several firm stops from various speeds to check for any pedal judder or rhythmic pulsations, which are common symptoms of warped or heavily scored discs. Ensure the steering remains centered under braking and that there is no abnormal grinding noise, confirming that the braking surfaces are now smooth and functioning within operational parameters.
