2016 Volkswagen Golf 1.2L Petrol · FJ65 JDU

The 2016 Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 May 2025 at 79,122 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from 9 May 2024 at 68,942 miles. Two consecutive annual tests with zero advisories or failures indicate the previous owner kept the vehicle to a sound standard. The recorded mileage of 79,122 over roughly ten years equates to about 7,912 miles per year, which sits within typical use for a car of this age. The 10,180-mile accumulation between May 2024 and May 2025 shows consistent, moderate yearly running rather than a period of neglect or unusually heavy use. The MOT history is sparse and clean, with no gaps beyond the standard twelve-month cycle and no warning signs of standing damage or deferred servicing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age, as these components degrade with time even without MOT advisories. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity flags in the record is reassuring, but underside rust and perished rubber should be checked physically. Verify service history to confirm consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were replaced outside the test regime.
