2017 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · VE67 LRZ

A consistent pattern of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 6 December 2025 showing no recorded defects. While the history is largely free of failures, there is a minor trend of tyre-related advisories appearing intermittently, such as the worn inner edge on the nearside front tyre and a nail in the offside rear tyre noted in November 2024. This suggests that while the mechanical integrity of the vehicle appears stable, the consumables are subject to standard wear and occasional road damage. The recorded mileage of 81,794 miles over approximately nine years indicates a usage pattern of roughly 9,088 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK driving habits for a vehicle of this age. This moderate accumulation suggests that components such as the suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements have not been subjected to excessive high-speed or heavy-duty mileage, but they will have undergone sufficient cycles of use to warrant close inspection of all wear items. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest long periods of inactivity or storage. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the tyre wear patterns mentioned in the 2024 and 2020 advisories. The report of a tyre being worn on the inner edge is a specific indicator that should be investigated for potential wheel alignment issues or suspension geometry faults. During a test drive, you should check for any steering pull to one side or a tendency for the vehicle to wander, which could indicate that the tracking is out or that there is excessive play in the steering rack or suspension linkages. Additionally, given the advisory regarding a nail in the offside rear tyre, a physical inspection of the current tread depth and sidewall integrity is necessary to ensure no structural damage remains. While no specific issues with the braking system or chassis were flagged, the presence of tyre wear advisories means it is prudent to listen for any rhythmic thumping or vibrations through the floorpan or steering wheel at motorway speeds, which could signal uneven tyre wear or unaddressed suspension movement.
