2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.5L Petrol · FX67 TWC

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The July 2026 test at 84,783 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, mirroring the clean results from the August 2025 and July 2024 tests. This recent three-year period of defect-free testing suggests that the vehicle is currently in a well-maintained state regarding its primary mechanical and safety components. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical driving pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 84,783 miles, averaging roughly 9,420 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, such as the 6,236-mile increase between the August 2025 and July 2026 tests, and the 5,764-mile increase between July 2024 and August 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from the potential issues associated with long periods of inactivity. Historical records indicate some intermittent neglect regarding consumable items. In September 2020 at 42,653 miles, the tester recorded a failure due to a damaged windscreen, high headlamp aim, and front tyres worn close to the legal limit. A similar tyre issue appeared in the July 2023 test at 72,411 miles. The August 2022 test at 62,961 miles also flagged thin rear brake pads on both sides. While these issues were resolved to achieve subsequent passes, they point to a pattern where the previous owner addressed wear items only when prompted by the MOT inspection. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyre tread and alignment to ensure the edge-wearing issues noted in 2020 and 2023 have not recurred. Although the recent tests show no current defects, checking the remaining thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the discs is advisable given the previous advisory in 2022. The current lack of advisories suggests the vehicle is mechanically sound, but verifying the condition of the suspension bushes and steering components would be a prudent step to confirm the absence of any emerging wear.
