2022 Volkswagen Golf Life TSI 1.5L Petrol · ND22 FLE

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend across its limited MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 19 May 2026 at 41,563 miles resulted in a pass, although the tester noted a restriction where the presence of child seats in both rear positions prevented a full inspection of the adult seatbelts. This is a procedural observation rather than a mechanical failure or a safety-related defect. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a modern vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per annum. Between the May 2025 test at 31,952 miles and the May 2026 test, the car covered 9,611 miles in a twelve-month period. This regularity suggests consistent road use rather than long periods of stagnation, which generally helps keep engine seals lubricated and prevents components like brake calipers and suspension bushes from seizing or corroding due to inactivity. Since the MOT record shows no recorded defects or advisories from the previous year, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items for this mileage. A buyer should verify the condition of the tyres for uneven wear and check the brake pads and discs for signs of thinning or excessive scoring. Given the restricted inspection of the seatbelts during the latest test, the buyer must personally ensure the adult seatbelt mechanisms function correctly and retract smoothly without any fraying or damage.
