2012 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · RO12 UMD

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-19 at 113,851 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2025 and 2024 also showed no critical issues, though repeated PASS/FAIL cycles on identical dates (2026-03-19 and 2025-03-18) suggest potential administrative inconsistencies. No structural corrosion, brake system faults, or exhaust emissions failures were flagged, implying the owner prioritized basic compliance. However, the absence of detailed defect descriptions limits confidence in the thoroughness of inspections. The vehicle’s mileage of 113,851 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 8,132 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. Gaps between MOT tests span 11 months (2024-04-08 to 2025-03-18) and 11 months again (2025-03-18 to 2026-03-19), which is within acceptable ranges but may indicate infrequent servicing. No spikes in mileage suggest abrupt wear on components like suspension bushes or coil springs, though the lack of detailed records prevents definitive conclusions. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s structural integrity, particularly underbody corrosion, and inspect brake discs for uneven wear, as these are common issues in older Golfs. The absence of suspension-related advisories is positive, but a physical check of shock absorbers and steering linkages is recommended. The MOT history shows no recurring mechanical failures, but the lack of specific defect details means a hands-on inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond recorded tests.
