2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · GL67 YFC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the latest MOT data. The most recent test on 28 November 2025 at 45,010 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just five miles prior. This pattern suggests that any minor issues identified during testing were rectified immediately before the re-test. The consistent passes indicate a lack of recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last three years. The mileage history is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 36,975 miles and the 2024 test at 41,250 miles, the car covered 4,275 miles, while the subsequent interval saw 3,760 miles added before the 2025 inspection. This low annual usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or brake corrosion due to inactivity. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage use. Since the MOT record shows no specific advisories for suspension bushes or tyre wear, a manual check is required to rule out perished tyres or seized brake calipers that might not have triggered a failure. Verify the brake discs for pitting or rust, as infrequent use often prevents the surface from cleaning itself. The overall clean history suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies regulatory requirements despite its limited travel.
