Free Volkswagen car check
Volkswagen has a reputation for solid build and strong resale, which keeps used prices firm. A check helps you confirm a tidy-looking Golf or Polo actually has the clean history its price implies.
Free MOT, mileage and DVLA data from official UK government records
What a free Volkswagen check shows
Full MOT history
Every test, pass or fail, with advisories and the recorded mileage at each one.
Mileage & clocking
The mileage timeline, with any drop between tests flagged as possible clocking.
Tax & recalls
Current tax status and any outstanding manufacturer safety recall.
DVLA details
Make, model, year, fuel, engine, CO2, colour and V5C logbook date.
What to check on a used Volkswagen
- DSG gearbox: ask for evidence of fluid changes on higher-mileage cars.
- Older TSI petrols can use oil and have timing-chain history worth checking.
- Confirm any diesel has had relevant emissions/service work, and check MOT advisories.
