2017 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · LW04 ACE

This Volkswagen Golf is in a stable roadworthy condition with a clean bill of health from its most recent MOT on 21 April 2026 at 48,238 miles. The vehicle has passed every annual test since 2020 without a single failure. The absence of any defects or advisories in the two most recent tests suggests the car is currently well maintained and mechanically sound. The mileage is notably low for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,360 miles per year. The accumulation has remained consistent over the last six years, rising from 17,422 miles in February 2020 to the current 48,238 miles. This steady increase indicates regular, light use rather than long periods of stagnation, which reduces the likelihood of seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals often found in low-mileage cars. A recurring pattern of tyre wear is evident in the records. The tester flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge in February 2020, March 2021, and February 2024. This repetition suggests a potential issue with wheel alignment or a tendency for the previous owner to delay replacing consumables. A buyer should check the current tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns across the tyre shoulders to confirm the tracking is correct. The records also show a recurring advisory for a slightly damaged nearside front seat belt in February 2020 and February 2022. While this did not result in a failure, the fact it appeared twice suggests a persistent minor fault. A physical inspection should verify the current condition of the webbing and the smooth operation of the retraction mechanism to ensure it meets safety standards.
