2013 Volkswagen Golf S Bluemotion Tech TDI 1.6L Diesel · RF62 FPL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by consistently clean MOT records over the last several years. The most recent test conducted on 4 November 2025 at 164,390 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This sustained streak of clean passes suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a functional standard, addressing any mechanical or safety issues before they could trigger a testing failure. The mileage profile indicates consistent usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,600 miles per annum. Between January 2021 and November 2025, the car covered 47,921 miles, showing a steady accumulation of roughly 12,000 miles per year. The interval between the November 2024 and 2025 tests saw 7,819 miles, which aligns well with the established annual usage pattern. This level of mileage suggests the vehicle has likely seen significant motorway use, which is generally less taxing on the drivetrain and suspension than short-distance city driving. While the MOT history is devoid of recorded advisories, a buyer must focus on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. At over 164,000 miles, the inspection should prioritize the condition of the control arm bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber or stress fractures. The mechanical braking system should also be checked physically for uneven disc wear or caliper seizing, as the MOT only tests for efficiency and play. Given the age and mileage, verifying the integrity of the turbocharger and checking for any oil or coolant leaks is essential to ensure the high-mileage components are not nearing the point of failure.
