2017 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · TO56 EXY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. Although the latest MOT test on 19 December 2025 at 82,179 miles initially recorded a failure, the immediate subsequent pass on the same day with no recorded defects suggests a minor issue that was quickly rectified rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since October 2022, the car has maintained a clean record with consistent passes across four consecutive tests. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,131 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 67,633 miles and November 2024 at 79,858 miles, the car covered 12,225 miles over two years, showing a regular usage pattern. The jump of 2,321 miles recorded between November 2024 and December 2025 indicates active use during that period, which helps prevent the issues associated with brake seizing or fluid degradation from prolonged inactivity. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories regarding structural corrosion, suspension components, or brake hardware, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items. The buyer should verify the condition of the tyres and the thickness of the brake discs, as these consumables are not detailed in the MOT record. Given the age, checking for minor oil leaks or the state of the suspension control arm bushes is prudent to ensure the vehicle remains in the condition the digital history suggests.
