2012 Volkswagen Jetta SE TDI 2.0L Heavy oil · SH62 ACV

The 2025‑11‑30 MOT at 125,079 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle is currently roadworthy and that the maintenance record has remained stable since the previous test in November 2024. Over the 14‑year lifespan the Jetta has covered about 8,900 miles per year, a figure that aligns with typical usage for its age. Mileage jumps are evident: from 66,366 miles in November 2021 to 88,699 miles in July 2023 represents a 22,333‑mile increase in 1.5 years, and another 26,000‑mile rise between November 2024 and November 2025 shows recent intensive use. Earlier periods show more modest accumulation, with the 2016‑2017 interval adding roughly 8,000 miles in a single year. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension components highlighted in the 2016 failure – the off‑side front coil spring and the damaged anti‑roll bar linkage – confirming that any repair was executed correctly and that bushes, springs and linkages show no binding or excessive wear. The recurring tyre wear advisories from 2020 onward demand a close check of tyre tread depth, alignment and sidewall condition, as well as an assessment of brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding. Although no rust advisories appear, a visual examination of the chassis, wheel arches and underbody for corrosion is prudent, alongside a review of the brake system and any previous suspension work.
