2017 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · NJ67 LCP

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 1 September 2025 at 131,049 miles. While the car has maintained a consistent pass record since 2020, the most recent inspection introduced an advisory regarding worn, pitted, or scored front brake discs. This indicates the onset of typical wear on consumable braking components, though no immediate failure was recorded. The mileage accumulation is high for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 14,500 miles per year. The records show a consistent and heavy usage pattern, with the vehicle covering roughly 16,000 miles between the August 2023 and August 2024 tests, and another 7,700 miles between August 2024 and September 2025. This high annual mileage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for long-distance commuting rather than sitting idle, which typically correlates with more predictable wear on the drivetrain and suspension systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The August 2023 test at 109,525 miles flagged multiple issues, including perishing rear tyres and tyres worn close to the legal limit on both the nearside and offside rear. The subsequent advisory on front brake discs in 2025 suggests that while the vehicle is being kept roadworthy, the owner may be managing maintenance on a reactive basis rather than proactively replacing components before they show signs of degradation. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is advisable to ensure the high-use pattern has not compromised structural integrity or ride quality. Although no structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures appear in the history, the transition from clean tests in 2021 and 2022 to advisories in 2023 and 2025 marks a clear shift toward the maintenance of high-wear items.
