Our Verdict
A highly recommended purchase. This blue 2017 Golf Diesel presents an exceptionally clean maintenance record with no recorded defects across several years of MOT testing.
Given the clean MOT history, your primary focus should be on the service record. Ensure the cambelt and water pump have been replaced or are scheduled for replacement, as this is a critical maintenance item for the 1.9L/2.0L VW diesel engines around this age and mileage.
Check for a full service history (FSH) to confirm that oil changes have been performed at regular intervals. Because there are no recorded MOT defects, you can negotiate based on the remaining tyre tread or the age of the brake pads rather than major mechanical failures.
The 1968cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer motorway journeys, making it an ideal choice for high-mileage drivers. Tax and insurance will be mid-range for a hatchback of this size, though diesel models can sometimes attract higher insurance premiums depending on the driver's profile.
Annual costs will be kept low by the vehicle's reliability, but you should budget for standard VW servicing. Expect a competitive fuel economy that keeps the monthly running costs manageable compared to petrol equivalents.
While the MOT history is remarkably clean—with no defects recorded at 48,661, 63,799, or 67,853 miles—you should still perform a physical inspection of the bodywork for any stone chips or scratches in the blue paint. Check the interior wear, particularly the driver's seat bolster, to ensure it matches the 67k mileage.
Listen for any unusual noises from the DSG gearbox (if equipped) or the clutch during a test drive. Check the exhaust system for any signs of soot buildup or leaks, which can occasionally affect diesel efficiency, even if not flagged on a standard MOT.
This vehicle is in excellent condition based on its available data, showing a consistent history of passing MOTs without any recorded defects. With 67,853 miles on the clock as of June 2025, it has been used moderately and appears well-maintained. The 2.0L diesel engine provides a strong balance of performance and efficiency for a car of this age.
The Volkswagen Golf is generally regarded as a benchmark for reliability and build quality in the hatchback segment.
