2012 Volkswagen Jetta 1.6L Diesel · FH12 VKT

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status and has demonstrated a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 86,552 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in both 2024 and 2023, suggesting that the vehicle has been well-maintained regarding its primary safety requirements over the last three years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2026, the car covered 11,963 miles, representing a steady and predictable usage rate. This low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the age-related degradation of rubber seals and bushes over time rather than distance travelled. The record shows a single failure in April 2025 at 82,681 miles due to an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm bush. While the subsequent pass confirms this part was replaced, a buyer should still physically inspect the front suspension for any signs of play or perished rubber in the remaining bushes, as these components often age with time regardless of mileage. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for corrosion on the underbody and exhaust system is also advisable, as the MOT record does not flag historical structural rust issues.
