2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · LK67 JCU

The Volkswagen Golf presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 12 February 2025 at 87,242 miles. The tester recorded zero defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards on that date. This unblemished record suggests a pattern of diligent preventative care rather than reactive repairs. However, given the current date is July 2026, the vehicle is now overdue for its annual test, meaning a fresh assessment is required to confirm its current roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. Between the April 2022 test at 62,096 miles and the May 2023 test at 72,763 miles, the Golf covered 10,667 miles, reflecting regular daily driving. The subsequent interval saw 14,479 miles added by February 2025, averaging roughly 8,300 miles per year over that twenty-one-month period. This represents a slight decrease in annual mileage compared to the prior year, but remains well within normal parameters. The data is notably sparse in terms of recent activity, as no MOT has been recorded in the seventeen months since the last test, leaving the current actual mileage unverified. Despite the absence of flagged defects in the official record, a physical inspection remains essential for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, as consumable wear is inevitable even if components passed minimum thickness thresholds eighteen months ago. Suspension components, including the coil springs and anti-roll bar linkages, require scrutiny for deterioration, alongside a thorough check of the tyres for uneven tread wear or perishing. Structurally, the Golf's underside and wheel arches must be inspected for corrosion, a common issue as these vehicles age. Verifying the current odometer reading against the documented 87,242 miles will also confirm whether the car has been sitting idle or driven significantly since its last test.
