2010 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · SC59 APX

The 2026‑01‑14 MOT at 113,893 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy. The preceding test on 2026‑01‑13, conducted at the same mileage, also recorded no failures, indicating a stable maintenance record. Mileage has risen from 77,020 miles in the July 2023 test to 113,893 miles in the January 2026 test, an increase of 36,873 miles over three years, or roughly 12,291 miles per year. The steepest rise occurred between July 2024 (95,156 miles) and July 2025 (108,270 miles), adding 13,114 miles in a single year, while the most recent interval from July 2025 to January 2026 added only 5,623 miles, suggesting a gradual reduction in annual usage. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brakes for binding calipers, and examine the brake discs for corrosion or scoring. Structural rust around the wheel arches, sills and chassis should be assessed, as should the condition of the exhaust system and its emissions output. Although the MOT history shows no recorded faults, physical verification of these components is essential given the vehicle’s age and mileage. A thorough in‑person assessment of the suspension, braking and structural integrity will reveal whether the clean MOT record reflects genuine maintenance or merely the absence of immediate failures.
