2004 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Petrol · HW54 EEB

This Volkswagen Golf is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 March 2026 at 113,190 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed its tests without any recorded defects or advisories over the last three years. The lack of flagged mechanical issues suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is low for a twenty-two-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,145 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between January 2024, when the car sat at 97,174 miles, and March 2026, when it reached 113,190 miles. This period accounts for approximately 16,000 miles of travel, indicating a more active phase of use compared to the earlier history. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the absence of any recorded advisories over several years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should specifically inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as structural rust often develops regardless of mileage. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which can perish due to age and standing rather than wear. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads to ensure they have not pitted or seized during periods of low use. Because the record shows no defects, a physical inspection should focus on the rubber components and fluid leaks that an MOT tester might overlook if they do not impact immediate roadworthiness.
