2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · GD17 KFC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT inspection. The latest test conducted on 11 June 2025 at 98,445 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite a failure just five miles prior on the same day. This suggests a minor adjustment or a specific sensor-related issue was identified and immediately rectified before the retest, indicating a proactive approach to resolving immediate mechanical or electrical failures. The mileage progression is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between June 2023 at 68,408 miles and June 2024 at 80,624 miles, the car covered 12,216 miles, followed by a higher interval of 17,821 miles between the June 2024 and 2025 tests. This recent acceleration reflects typical annual usage rather than long periods of standing, which helps preserve internal seals and rubber components. While the record shows no recurring advisories or structural corrosion, the failures in 2024 and 2025 necessitate a close physical inspection of high-wear areas. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often show degradation around the 100,000-mile mark. Given the recent test failures, checking the brake system for binding calipers or uneven wear on the discs is essential to ensure the braking system is not suffering from an underlying mechanical fault.
