2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · GK17 MFE

The vehicle maintains a valid roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on August 6, 2025, which showed no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the single failure recorded on May 23, 2024, was immediately rectified, evidenced by a pass the following day on May 24, 2024. Since that 2024 incident, the car has undergone annual inspections without further flagged advisories or mechanical failures. At 98,341 miles, the Golf has averaged approximately 10,927 miles per year over its nine, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a nine-year-old vehicle. There is a notable gap in the testing history between February 2022 and March 2023, followed by a more frequent testing schedule in 2024 due to the failure. The mileage accumulation suggests consistent use rather than long periods of standing, though the high mileage puts standard strain on mechanical components that typically reach the end of life around these figures. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the vehicle is approaching the critical 100,000-mile threshold. While the record is currently clean of recorded faults, the high mileage necessitates a check for worn suspension bushes, coil springs, and signs of binding brake calipers. Focus should also be placed on corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the lack of advisories in the most recent tests. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
