2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · FV67 ONF

The vehicle maintains a high roadworthiness status with a perfectly stable maintenance trend across its recorded history. The most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 13,041 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistency across five tests dating back to 2020 indicates that the vehicle has remained in a condition of good mechanical repair without any recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,450 miles per year. Data shows significant periods of stationary use, for instance, the car covered only 1,025 miles between April 2023 and December 2024. The jump of 7,843 miles between December 2024 and December 2025 represents more recent activity. While low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to issues related to fluid stagnation and rubber perish. While the clean MOT record is encouraging, a buyer must physically inspect specific areas prone to low-mileage neglect. The inspector should check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when a car sits for long periods without the brakes being worked hard enough. Inspect the tyres for cracking or sidewall rot, as rubber ages regardless of the tread depth. Additionally, verifying the condition of suspension bushes and seals is essential to ensure components have not degraded during the extended periods of inactivity.
