2004 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · GR04 WTF

The November 2023 MOT at 120,489 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that its maintenance record has been stable over the past two years. Mileage has risen only modestly since the December 2021 test (113,070 mi) to the December 2022 test (116,827 mi) and then to the November 2023 test, reflecting an average annual increase of roughly 3,700 mi—low for a 22‑year‑old vehicle and indicating limited use or extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, examine the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and look for any structural rust or exhaust damage on the chassis rails and wheel arches, as these components are the most likely to show age‑related deterioration despite the clean MOT history.
