2013 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · FT62 WKA

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 12 November 2025 at 51,965 miles, recording a Pass. The earlier failure on 6 November 2024 for exhaust emissions, rear brake binding and brake‑disc wear was remedied, and subsequent testing shows no repeat of those major faults. Minor tyre damage and a corroded front brake hose persist, indicating a stable but not fully resolved maintenance picture. Mileage has risen from 48,099 miles in November 2022 to 51,965 miles in November 2025, an average of roughly 1,300 miles per year. This low annual accumulation suggests light usage rather than prolonged storage, and there are no abrupt spikes that would point to hidden high‑wear periods. The record is consistently populated, leaving little doubt about the odometer’s reliability. A prospective buyer should focus on the tyres – the near‑side front outer tyre shows perishing tread, the off‑side front inner tyre is close to the legal limit, and the near‑side rear tyre was noted as slightly damaged. The front brake hose’s slight corrosion and the front brake disc’s pitted condition merit inspection, as does the off‑side rear service brake, which previously bound excessively. The 2022 report of a severely deteriorated CV boot on the off‑side front drive shaft should be checked for leaks, and the cracked fuel‑cap seal may indicate a recurring sealing issue. Finally, the fitted under‑tray should be examined for corrosion or damage that could affect structural integrity.
