2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · GD17 DFA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 1 December 2025 at 58,931 miles. The maintenance history indicates a generally stable condition, though the most recent test highlights a recurring pattern of neglecting tyre health. While the car successfully passed its latest inspection, the advisories regarding inner edge wear on both front tyres suggest a potential issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry that remains unaddressed. The recorded mileage of 58,931 over nine years averages roughly 6,500 miles annually, which is consistent with light to moderate usage. The vehicle shows no signs of long-term storage or excessive high-speed accumulation. The testing timeline is regular, with the exception of the 2020 extension, and the lack of recorded defects in 2023 and 2024 suggests the car was maintained to a reasonable standard during those periods. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension components, specifically checking for worn bushes or ball joints that could be causing the uneven tyre wear noted in the latest test. The 2022 failure involving structural tyre damage and brake disc pitting serves as a reminder to verify the condition of the current discs and pads, as these consumables have been flagged previously. A thorough check of the steering rack and tracking alignment is recommended to ensure that the inner tyre wear does not persist, as this can lead to premature replacement of expensive rubber and affect handling stability.
