2017 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · FN17 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 26 March 2026 at 104,008 miles which returned with zero defects. This indicates that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While the history shows a failure in March 2025 at 89,725 miles, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults to maintain legal compliance. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per annum. Between the March 2023 test at 60,290 miles and the March 2024 test at 75,169 miles, the car covered 14,879 miles, while the subsequent interval saw 14,556 miles between 2024 and 2025. This steady usage suggests regular driving patterns rather than long periods of stagnation which can lead to component degradation. Given the clean results of the two most recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to wear at the 100,000-mile threshold. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue, as these often reach the limit at this mileage. The record does not highlight structural corrosion or brake issues, but a manual check of brake pad thickness and an inspection of discs for surface rust remains advisable to ensure the mechanical condition matches the clean MOT history.
