2017 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · MJ67 KJE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent pass record across its entire history. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 32,115 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This stable trend of passes suggests the car has been maintained to a professional standard and has not suffered from the mechanical neglect or structural degradation often seen in older vehicles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old Golf, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per annum. Between November 2021 at 15,715 miles and September 2025 at 32,115 miles, the car covered 16,400 miles over four years. While low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the intervals between tests suggest the vehicle may sit for extended periods. Such usage patterns can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or oxidation of braking systems, which are not always captured by mileage alone. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than high-mileage operation. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for signs of surface corrosion or seizing due to lack of use, and check the suspension bushes and tyre boots for cracking or dry rot. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to verify that fluids and oils have been replaced according to the manufacturer's time-based schedule, as the MOT does not assess the chemical condition of engine lubricants.
