2017 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · MA67 AEB

This 2017 Volkswagen Golf presents a remarkably clean MOT record, indicating a stable and well-maintained vehicle. The most recent test in October 2023 at 80,552 miles passed with no defects, and the preceding three tests also recorded zero advisories or failures. The single failure in July 2022 at 63,496 miles is anomalous, as no defects were recorded; this likely represents an administrative or procedural issue rather than a genuine mechanical fault. The overall maintenance trend is exemplary, with no evidence of recurring problems or neglected items. The recorded mileage of 80,552 miles over approximately nine years yields an average of 8,950 miles per year, which is entirely typical for a vehicle of this age and class. The annual test intervals show consistent usage, with no periods of rapid accumulation or extended inactivity. The gap between the February 2023 test at 68,542 miles and the October 2023 test at 80,552 miles shows a higher than average usage of roughly 12,000 miles in eight months, but this is not a concern given the clean outcome. Given the pristine MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection, focusing on items that can deteriorate between tests. Check the condition of the tyres, brake discs and pads for wear, and listen for any suspension knocks from bushes or drop links. Look for corrosion on brake pipes, the exhaust system, and structural jacking points, as these can develop silently. A full service history check is also advisable to confirm that oil and filter changes have been performed at the recommended intervals.
