2013 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · SY63 OMP

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 6 December 2024 at 135,621 miles. The tester flagged a slightly damaged or frayed nearside front seat‑belt webbing, rear brake pads wearing thin, and both front tyres worn close to the legal limit. Earlier tests show a clean record with only occasional lighting or tyre‑tread advisories, indicating that the current wear items are progressing while the chassis and suspension remain free of serious defects. Over its thirteen‑year life the car has travelled about 135,600 miles, averaging roughly 10,400 miles per year, which is typical for a 2013 Golf. Mileage rose steadily from 103,800 miles in October 2020 to 135,621 miles in December 2024, with no large jumps or unexplained gaps. The test history is fairly complete, showing a passed test each year except for a few retests after lamp failures. A buyer should examine the nearside front seat‑belt for fraying, measure rear brake‑pad thickness, and check front tyre tread depth, as these were the advisories in the latest test. Recurring faults in the history include inoperative registration‑plate lamps, dipped‑beam headlamp failures on both sides, and a slight play noted in the nearside front anti‑roll‑bar linkage ball joint in 2021. No advisories have ever mentioned structural corrosion, subframe damage, or suspension‑mount issues, suggesting the underlying frame remains sound.
