Our Verdict

A strong contender for buyers seeking a

Prioritise reviewing the service history to ensure the 1984cc engine has been maintained in line with manufacturer intervals, especially as the mileage is higher than average for this model. Confirm that the four brake discs flagged as worn in April 2025 have since been replaced, as this represents a significant maintenance requirement.

Verify that the undertrays and engine covers mentioned in the November 2024 test are still securely fitted. When negotiating, use the above-average mileage as a point of discussion, though the clean most recent MOT provides some reassurance regarding its current state.

The 2.0L petrol engine provides more power than smaller variants but will result in higher fuel consumption and a higher insurance group. Maintenance costs are likely to increase as the vehicle nears 90,000 miles, particularly regarding wear-and-tear items like brakes and tyres.

Annual costs will be influenced by the petrol engine's efficiency and the vehicle's tax band. Given the engine size and age, buyers should budget for routine servicing and the potential replacement of common failure items like exhaust components.

Carefully inspect the brake discs and pads; all four were noted as worn in the April 2025 MOT, so evidence of replacement is essential. Check the tyres, particularly the offside rear, for any remaining signs of the cracking or perishing noted in previous records.

Referencing aggregate model data, pay specific attention to the exhaust system and the anti-roll bar, as these are top failure reasons for the Golf. Ensure the undertrays are properly secured, as this was specifically noted in the 2024 MOT record.

This grey 2017 Volkswagen Golf has a record of five MOT tests, all of which resulted in a pass. The vehicle has covered 89,636 miles, which exceeds the model's average annual mileage of 7,175. While previous tests noted worn brake discs and tyre issues, the most recent inspection in July 2026 recorded no defects.

The Golf has a solid aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.8%, with the most common issues relating to tyres, exhausts, and anti-roll bars.
