2010 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · WR60 VFP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 December 2025 at 97,202 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a technical failure just one day prior at 97,199 miles. That failure identified perished on both the nearside and offside front suspension arm ball joint dust covers. The fact that these components were rectified immediately suggests the owner is proactive in addressing safety-critical defects once identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Data shows a steady annual progression, moving from 80,763 miles in December 2022 to 97,202 miles by late 2025. This low annual usage suggests the car has not been subjected to high-intensity motorway stress, which often preserves the drivetrain, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and seals regardless of the mileage. A buyer should pay close attention to the front end assembly during a physical inspection. The December 2022 test flagged thin front brake pads and light misting on the nearside front shock absorber. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the failure of the ball joint dust covers in 2025 indicates that suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life. Inspect the ball joint boots for further cracking and check the shock absorber seals to ensure the previously noted misting has not progressed into a significant leak that would require replacement.
