2004 Volkswagen Golf 1.9L Diesel · FH54 XNO

The 2004 Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 124,249 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began after the only failure in the dataset. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent statutory compliance over the past three years. Recorded mileage sits at 124,249 against an age of around 22 years, equating to roughly 5,648 miles per year. The test on 24 September 2024 captured 112,504 miles, rising to 124,249 by October 2025, a modest 11,745-mile gain over thirteen months. A gap exists between the March 2022 pass at 99,269 miles and the June 2023 failure at 105,368 miles, where the car covered only 6,099 miles in fifteen months. Low annual use of this order often points to light local running or periods of storage rather than motorway wear. The single failure on 2 June 2023 at 105,368 miles listed no defects, an irregular entry that suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. A pass followed six days later on 8 June 2023 with no defects. The absence of flagged items such as corroded suspension bushes, worn brake discs, or exhaust issues means the MOT record itself raises no structural or mechanical red flags. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and suspension components given the vehicle's age, as the MOT dataset records no advisories that would reveal incipient rust or bush degradation. Verify the 2023 failure anomaly with DVSA paperwork. Otherwise, the low-mileage, defect-free profile implies previous owners kept basic statutory upkeep current without neglected consumables appearing in the record.
