2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · SA17 ABV

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 11 February 2025 at 107,001 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in February 2024 at 94,841 miles and February 2023 at 78,291 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available five-year record. Annual mileage averages around 11,889 miles against the car's 2017 build, a typical use profile for this age. The record logs 65,079 miles on 24 February 2022, rising to 78,291 miles by 8 February 2023, 94,841 miles by 29 February 2024, and 107,001 miles by 11 February 2025. The accumulation is linear with no standing gaps or sudden jumps. One anomaly appears on 8 February 2023 where the tester issued a fail and a pass on the same day at identical mileage; with no defects listed, this points to an administrative retest rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. Given the clean advisory history, the buyer faces no flagged suspension bushes, brake disc wear, exhaust corrosion, or structural integrity concerns from the MOT data. The absence of recorded advisories suggests previous owners addressed consumables before each test. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and underbody corrosion not yet at test-threshold levels, as these items wear between annual tests. The 2025 pass sits roughly seventeen months before today's date, leaving the next test due by February 2026. The buyer should verify the current odometer against the 107,001-mile record and commission an independent mechanical check of dampers, coil springs, and brake calipers given the car has now exceeded 100,000 miles.
