1989 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF1.8L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy; the October 2025 test at 93,865 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, confirming a stable maintenance record across the four most recent examinations. Mileage has remained remarkably low for a 1989 model. Between the October 2021 test at 93,116 miles and the latest October 2025 test the car accumulated just 749 miles, averaging under 200 miles per year in that period. Such a pattern suggests limited daily use or long storage intervals rather than high‑stress operation, and no sudden spikes appear in the record. A prospective buyer should still verify the condition of age‑related components that MOT testing does not always reveal. Inspect the chassis for corrosion, check suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, examine brake discs and pads for thickness and even wear, and confirm tyre tread depth and uniformity. A brief run‑around to listen for exhaust leaks and to ensure steering feels free of play will round out the assessment before purchase.
