2012 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · FN12 AEP

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 107,353 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean certificates dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that is well-maintained or has had preventative work carried out prior to its annual inspections. The mileage accumulation is typical for a 14 year old car, averaging roughly 7,668 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between July 2024 and July 2025, where the odometer rose from 94,864 to 107,353 miles. This 12,489 mile jump is higher than the previous intervals, such as the 13,564 miles covered between July 2022 and July 2023, but remains within expected parameters for a daily driver. The record shows a single failure on 1 July 2023 at 86,878 miles, though the subsequent pass on 14 July 2023 indicates the issue was rectified quickly. Because the MOT history is unusually clean and lacks any recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake disc wear, or corrosion, the data provides little insight into the current state of consumables. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for this model and age. Check for structural rust on the sills and suspension mounting points, as these are often overlooked if not specifically flagged by a tester. Verify the condition of the brake pads and tyre tread depths manually, as the lack of advisories does not guarantee these components are not nearing the end of their service life.
