VOLKSWAGEN GOLF2016 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with an improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test, conducted on 18 July 2025 at 84,141 miles, returned no defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from multiple advisories to a clean sheet suggests the owner has taken proactive action to rectify flagged wear and tear. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. Between the July 2022 test at 54,739 miles and the July 2024 test at 76,898 miles, the car covered 22,159 miles, representing a steady usage profile. The intervals between tests remain regular, suggesting the vehicle has been used consistently rather than being left to stand for long periods, which often leads to rubber seal degradation and brake corrosion. A prospective buyer should perform a close inspection of the rear suspension and exhaust system despite the recent pass. The 2024 test flagged light oil misting on both rear shock absorbers, and while the 2025 test showed no defects, a physical check should confirm if these seals have progressed to a functional leak. Additionally, the 2023 advisory regarding uneven inner wear on both front tyres indicates a past history of alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Verifying that the current tyres wear evenly across the tread will prevent premature replacement of more recent rubber.
