2013 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · RE13 VPU

The 2025‑11‑02 MOT at 151,779 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition. Since the 2022 test at 124,370 miles, each subsequent inspection has recorded no failures, indicating consistent upkeep. The mileage has risen by roughly 7,600 miles per year, from 124,370 miles in May 2022 to 151,779 miles in November 2025, a pattern that aligns with normal usage for a 13‑year‑old Golf. There are no extended periods of inactivity evident, as the intervals between tests are approximately one year. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension components that often show wear, such as the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers, and verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the brake discs are free of scoring. Inspect the chassis and wheel arches for any signs of corrosion, especially around the rear sills and underbody, as these areas can develop rust after many years of service. While the MOT history shows no recorded advisories, a physical examination of the tyres, wiper blades and fluid levels will confirm that consumable wear matches the mileage, and a test of the exhaust emissions will ensure the car continues to meet current standards.
