MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 8 November 2026: the latest record we hold ran out on 22 October 2026; ask the dealer for the current MOT.
It failed its MOT on 22 October 2025 (offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt) and passed later the same day.
Advisories at the latest test: nearside front tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge; oil leak, but not excessive.
Mileage at that test: 81,737 miles, which matches the advertised 86,000 miles.
Advertised mileage is about 1,000 miles higher than the median mileage of a 2012 Volkswagen Golf on AskCar.
