2017 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · ML67 ADO

The 2017 Volkswagen Golf remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2025-09-08 at 86,852 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring issues flagged in the past three years. The only failure in 2024-09-09 at 77,596 miles was recorded as ‘no defects’, suggesting a technicality or minor non-roadworthy issue resolved before the subsequent 2024-09-11 pass. No structural, suspension, or braking faults have appeared in the last four tests, indicating consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 86,852 miles aligns with an average of 9,650 annual miles for its age, though a sharp increase of 9,246 miles between 2024-09-11 (77,606 miles) and 2025-09-08 raises questions about usage patterns. This jump could reflect extended periods of use or potential gaps in MOT coverage. Earlier tests show steady growth, with 70,791 miles in 2022 and 73,662 miles in 2023, suggesting regular but unremarkable wear. The absence of consumable-related defects (e.g., tyres, wipers) implies no major oversights in maintenance. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage increases the risk of such failures. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny due to their susceptibility to wear under heavy use. While no corrosion or structural issues appear in the record, a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s integrity, particularly around the chassis and underbody. The MOT history indicates no critical faults, but the recent mileage surge underscores the need for thorough checks on mechanical and safety-critical systems.
