2010 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · FV60 AEN

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available MOT data, though the record is significantly outdated. The last recorded test on 20 December 2022 resulted in a pass at 107,180 miles. However, the car has not undergone a documented inspection in over three years relative to the current date of 14 July 2026. This gap leaves the current roadworthiness of the vehicle unknown. Mileage accumulation has been consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 6,699 miles per year. Between December 2020 and December 2022, the odometer rose from 93,901 to 107,180 miles. This steady increase suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which typically helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories across three passing tests. While a lack of flagged issues suggests a well-maintained vehicle, the absence of any mentioned wear on consumables like brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes over 13,000 miles is atypical for a 2010 model. It implies either an exceptionally rigorous maintenance regime or a tester who provided minimal detail. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components. Given the vehicle is 16 years old, structural corrosion and rust on the sills or suspension mounting points are primary risks that the clean MOT record does not explicitly rule out. Checking for oil leaks and verifying the current state of the braking system is essential since the vehicle has been off the official testing circuit since late 2022.
