So vw golf (dsg) not sure why report says manual. It has low mileage ~25k (London based so I thought that was why). The fact that the mileages are reported by BVLA means maybe it's an ex rental? Or ex-lease?
Is that correct? What does this mean?
Would you buy this car?


Here is the report:
Make: VOLKSWAGEN
Model: GOLF S TSI
Year: 2010
First reg: 24/11/10
Fuel: PETROL
Colour: BLUE
CC: 1390

Last V5: 24/11/10
Last keeper chg: 21/01/14
Former Keepers: 1
VIN ends: 25073
Scrapped: NO
Imported: NO
Exported: NO
Plate chg: NO

Mileage:
17/06/11 2,841 (BVRLA)
05/09/12 2,915 (BVRLA)
15/07/13 13,562 (RMI MIL'GE)
18/07/13 13,562 (BVRLA)

Unlikely to be a rental, based on one thing and one thing alone...

First reg - Nov 2010
Last keeper change - Jan 2014
Previous keepers - 1

So the first keeper had it from new until Jan 2014. That's not "rental" territory.

I suspect the first keeper leased it, and the BVRLA mileages are based on servicing records put on the record by the lease firm.
