2013 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · SA13 ABC

The vehicle is presently road‑worthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 June 2026 at 86,975 miles with no defects recorded. The earlier failure on 18 April 2023 for an inoperative engine MIL and rear‑brake wear was rectified, and the subsequent three annual tests have been clean, indicating an improving maintenance trend. At 13 years old the car has accumulated 86,975 miles, averaging roughly 6,700 miles per year, which sits within normal bounds for its age. Mileage rose modestly from 20,454 miles in May 2018 to 40,203 miles by March 2020, then accelerated to 73,586 miles by June 2025, and most recently to 86,975 miles in June 2026 – a jump of over 13,000 miles in the last twelve months. The recent surge suggests a period of higher utilisation, but the MOT history shows no corresponding rise in recorded faults. A prospective buyer should verify that the rear‑brake system remains within safe limits, inspecting pads and discs for any residual wear or scoring that may have re‑emerged since the 2023 advisory. Confirm that the engine MIL indicator illuminates correctly and that no warning codes persist. A visual check of suspension components – bushes, coil springs, and mounting points – is advisable, as well as a thorough examination for any emerging corrosion on chassis or under‑carriage structures. These inspections will confirm that the vehicle’s mechanical condition aligns with the clean MOT record.
