Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough insp
When viewing this vehicle, prioritize checking the service history to see how the previously noted oil leak has been managed. Given the 2024 failure involved a split CV boot and anti-roll bar components, ensure that these repairs were carried out professionally and that there are no new knocks or vibrations coming from the front suspension or drive shafts.
Negotiate based on the recent advisory regarding the offside rear tyre, as this will be an immediate maintenance cost. You should also ask for evidence of any work done to address the oil leak mentioned in the 2024 record, as diesel engines of this age require careful monitoring of seal integrity.
As a 1.9L diesel, this Golf is likely to offer decent fuel economy for long-distance driving, though costs will depend on the specific engine tuning and driving style. Tax and insurance groups for a 2007 1896cc diesel will vary, but generally sit in a mid-range bracket for this vehicle class.
Maintenance costs for a high-mileage Volkswagen can be higher than average due to the complexity of diesel components. Expect to budget for regular items like timing belts (if applicable), oil changes, and suspension wear items, which have already appeared in this vehicle's MOT history.
Specifically inspect the area around the engine for any signs of the oil leak noted in the 2024 MOT. Even if the leak was described as 'not excessive' at the time, it is a recurring point of interest for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
Check the condition of the suspension and drive shafts. The 2024 failure highlighted a split nearside front CV boot and a worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage; ensure these parts have been replaced and that the vehicle drives smoothly without clunking. Finally, verify that all exterior lighting, particularly the nearside rear registration plate lamp which has appeared in multiple MOT records, is fully operational.
This 2007 silver Volkswagen Golf 1.9 TDI has covered 113,144 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,175 miles per year. The MOT history shows a mix of results, including a failure in early 2024 due to multiple issues such as a split CV boot and worn anti-roll bar links. While the 2026 test was passed, it did note a worn offside rear tyre.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.8% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being tyres, exhausts, and anti-roll bars.
