Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Focus on the service history to ensure that maintenance has been carried out based on time intervals rather than just mileage, as the low annual usage can sometimes lead to overlooked fluid changes. Confirm whether the rear brake discs and pads flagged in March 2025 were replaced, as the subsequent October 2025 test was recorded with no defects.
The 1.4L petrol engine provides a standard cost profile for this class of vehicle. You can expect moderate fuel economy and insurance premiums typical for a 2013 Golf. Maintenance costs are generally predictable, though the low mileage may mean certain rubber components age before they wear out.
Carefully inspect the tyres for signs of perishing or cracking, as this was noted in the 2022 and 2024 MOT tests. While the most recent test was clean, the history of worn rear brake discs and thin pads suggests these are components to monitor closely. Ensure the braking performance is consistent and there is no pulsation under braking.
This purple 2013 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L petrol has covered 58,805 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. Its MOT history shows five consecutive passes between 2022 and 2025, although there were recurring advisories regarding rear brake wear and tyre condition in previous years.
The Golf maintains a solid reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 80.8%, though tyres and exhausts are common failure points across the model range.
