Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 10 November 2026: valid until 13 July 2027.

It failed its MOT on 14 July 2026 (offside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot severely deteriorated; central rear seat belt not functioning as intended) and passed later the same day.

Advisories at the latest test: offside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot severely deteriorated.

Mileage at that test: 53,616 miles. The advert says 53,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.

Advertised mileage is about 31,500 miles lower than the median mileage of a 2012 Volkswagen Golf on AskCar.
