2002 Volkswagen Golf 1.9L Diesel · FV52 FSD

The most recent MOT on 19 September 2025 shows a pass at 166,274 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance trend is stable. No advisories or failures have appeared since the 2022 test, suggesting consistent upkeep. Between August 2022 and September 2025 the odometer rose from 156,041 to 166,274 miles, an increase of roughly 10,200 miles over three years, which averages about 3,400 miles per year. A test on 20 September 2024 at 162,950 miles resulted in a fail, though the record lists no defects, implying the failure may have been procedural rather than mechanical. Given the clean defect history, a prospective buyer should still examine typical wear items for a 24‑year‑old Golf, including front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and pads, and the exhaust system for corrosion. A thorough visual check of the chassis and wheel arches for rust is advisable, as age‑related corrosion can develop even without MOT flags.
