2002 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Petrol · PE52 UKF

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of roadworthiness. The most recent test on 13 February 2026 at 80,256 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been meticulously maintained or lightly used. The mileage is notably low for a 24 year old car, averaging roughly 3,344 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, growing from 59,211 miles in September 2021 to 80,256 miles by February 2026. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps that would suggest clocking or prolonged periods of abandonment. While the MOT record is devoid of advisories, the low annual mileage and the age of the chassis necessitate a physical inspection of specific areas. Rubber components such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls can perish due to age even if the tread remains legal. A buyer should check for signs of dry rot or cracking in these perishables. Particular attention should be paid to the underbody and sills for corrosion, as the DVSA record does not always capture early-stage surface rust that has not yet compromised structural integrity. Checking for binding brake calipers and ensuring the fluid has been changed regularly is also advisable, as low-use vehicles often suffer from moisture ingress in the braking system.
