2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · FP17 WTA

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 December 2025 at 70,447 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects recorded. This trend of clean passes across the last five annual tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that the mechanical and structural components are currently operating within acceptable DVSA safety parameters. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 40,265 miles and December 2025 at 70,447 miles, the car covered over 30,000 miles, showing steady usage without excessive strain. The gap between the 2025 test at 64,844 miles and the December test shows a recent burst of 5,600 miles in eight months. These regular intervals suggest the car is not prone to long periods of stationary neglect which often leads to seized brakes or perished rubber components. Since the MOT record shows no recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake components, or exhaust corrosion, the physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear. A buyer should still verify the condition of the tyres and the depth of the brake pads, as these are not monitored by the MOT test. Given the lack of recorded faults, the vehicle's structural integrity likely remains free of significant rust, but a visual check of the underside for minor surface corrosion remains a professional practice for a Golf of this age.
