2010 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · FV60 AEO

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 5 December 2025 at 113,896 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of first-time passes without a single recorded failure or advisory since December 2021. The mileage accumulation is steady and predictable for a 16-year-old vehicle. Between the December 2021 test at 83,721 miles and the December 2025 test at 113,896 miles, the car covered 30,175 miles. This averages roughly 7,500 miles per year, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which typically helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last five years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. While the data suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance, a buyer should still manually inspect common wear points for this model. Focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade without triggering an immediate MOT failure. Check for any signs of surface corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed structural health report beyond the pass result. Verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and timing belt have been changed according to the manufacturer's intervals, as the MOT record only confirms the vehicle meets minimum legal safety standards rather than full mechanical health.
