2012 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · ND62 CEK

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the most recent MOT on 4 November 2025 at 169,021 miles, where it passed without recorded defects; the uninterrupted series of passes indicates a stable maintenance pattern with no emerging deterioration evident in the official record. Mileage averages roughly 12,000 miles per year for a 2012 model, placing the car in a higher‑than‑average usage bracket. Between the 11 November 2021 test at 156,501 miles and the 4 November 2025 test the odometer rose 12,520 miles, a consistent accumulation of about 3,130 miles annually. No large gaps or sudden spikes appear, suggesting regular, steady driving rather than periods of neglect or storage. Although the MOT history shows no recorded faults, the high mileage warrants a focused visual and tactile inspection. Examine tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as wear accelerates with distance; check suspension bushings, coil springs, and mounting points for any signs of fatigue or corrosion. Verify brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing, and confirm that the exhaust system is free of rust or cracks that could develop under prolonged use. A buyer should also confirm that the steering rack and tie‑rod ends operate smoothly, and that there is no evidence of structural rust around wheel arches or undercarriage. Ensuring these components are in good order will complement the clean MOT record and provide confidence that the vehicle’s high mileage has not concealed underlying wear.
