2010 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · SH60 CZR

This Volkswagen Golf presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 19 July 2025 at 106,081 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, indicating the vehicle is currently meeting all statutory safety and environmental standards. The mileage is typical for a 16 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,630 miles per year. The distance covered between the January 2023 test at 98,956 miles and the July 2025 test at 106,081 miles shows a steady usage rate of approximately 7,125 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden heavy commercial use. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding defects. While the vehicle failed on 20 January 2023 and 23 March 2024, the records show no specific defects listed for those failures, suggesting they were likely administrative errors or very minor issues rectified immediately. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions over several years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check for chassis corrosion and the condition of the coil springs, as these often degrade on older Golfs without appearing on a clean MOT report. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals, as the MOT record confirms legal roadworthiness but provides no data on the internal mechanical health of the engine or drivetrain.
