2012 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · YN12 KFC

The most recent MOT on 2025-04-10 passed with no defects recorded at 56,242 miles. However, this test is now over 14 months old (as of 2026-06-15), so the current MOT status may have expired; confirm before purchase. The vehicle’s mileage of 56,242 miles over 14 years equates to ~4,017 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of storage, which can lead to issues like battery degradation, seized engine components, or dried-out rubber seals. However, the MOT passing with zero defects indicates recent maintenance may have addressed such risks. No prior MOT history is provided, so trends (worsening/stable/improving) cannot be confirmed. The lone clean test suggests recent upkeep, but without historical context, assume maintenance consistency cannot be verified. Prioritize inspecting: - Battery health (risk of failure from low use). - Brake components (pads, calipers, fluid condition; low mileage may reduce wear but not prevent corrosion). - Suspension and steering (check for corrosion or stiffness from lack of use).
