2012 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · FG62 GLK

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 92,886 miles which recorded no defects. Across the five available MOT entries from 2021 to 2025, the vehicle passed every test first time with no advisories or failures logged. This clean sequential record indicates consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards over the past four years. Annual mileage has averaged close to 6,600 miles, matching typical use for a 2012 registered hatchback. The records show steady accumulation: 73,070 miles in September 2021, 77,150 in November 2022, 82,538 in October 2023, 87,651 in October 2024, and 92,886 in October 2025. No abrupt jumps or dormant gaps appear. The sparse but unbroken history offers little cause for concern regarding overuse or prolonged standing. Given the absence of flagged defects, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not always captured at test. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness warrant physical checks despite no advisories being raised. At 92,886 miles and fourteen years old, subframe and sill corrosion may develop outside the test window. The prior owner clearly kept the car to a basic pass standard with no deferred repairs surfacing in the data. A pre-purchase examination of tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions under load, and binding calipers remains sensible due diligence before completion.
