2013 Volkswagen Golf 1.2L Petrol · FR62 BFL

A clean MOT pedigree dominates the record, with five consecutive annual tests showing no recorded defects and a pass on each occasion. The only irregularity is a duplicate entry on 17 February 2026 that lists both a pass and a failure but records no specific fault, suggesting an administrative anomaly rather than an underlying mechanical problem. Overall the trend is one of consistent roadworthiness as reflected by the DVSA data. At 111,250 mi the car averages roughly 8,500 mi per year, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within normal expectations for a 2013 model. The annual testing cadence shows no gaps, indicating the vehicle has been regularly presented for inspection and that mileage accumulation has been steady rather than punctuated by long periods of inactivity or sudden high‑kilometre runs that could accelerate wear on critical components. For a prospective buyer, the absence of documented failures means attention should be directed toward items that typically wear with the mileage accrued. On a test drive, listen for any clunking or knocking when traversing speed bumps or uneven surfaces, which could reveal deteriorating suspension bushes or worn ball joints. Apply the brakes firmly at moderate speed and note any pulsation, excessive pedal travel, or noise that might hint at thinning pads, disc glazing, or caliper binding. Inspect the tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns that could betray misalignment or worn steering components. Given the anomalous double entry on the most recent date, it is prudent to request the original MOT certificates and confirm that no hidden defects were omitted from the electronic summary. A visual inspection of the under‑body for any signs of corrosion, especially around the subframe and exhaust mounting points, will complement the MOT data and help ensure that the vehicle’s structural integrity matches its clean test history.
