2015 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF1.4L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding brake component degradation. The most recent test on 1 June 2026 at 92,503 miles flagged defects on both the nearside and offside rear brake discs for being pitted and scored, alongside thin rear brake pads. This represents a progression from the June 2025 test, where only the offside rear disc was noted, suggesting that the rear braking system requires immediate attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. The data shows steady usage with an increase of 8,575 miles between June 2025 and June 2026, and another 8,401 miles recorded between May 2024 and June 2025. This regularity suggests the car is used for regular trips rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps prevent internal components from seizing, though the lack of clean test records indicates that components are not being replaced proactively between annual MOT intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly, given the recurring reports of pitting and corrosion on the discs across multiple years. The tester flagged front disc corrosion in 2022 and rear disc issues in both 2025 and 2026, which often suggests the vehicle may be driven in corrosive environments or used frequently in short city trips. Beyond the brakes, the buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the MOT history focuses exclusively on consumable wear without providing data on the structural integrity of the chassis.
