2016 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · 12 XAD

The vehicle presents as roadworthy today, with the most recent MOT test on 2026-02-26 returning a clean pass at 37,746 miles. The maintenance trend is stable and improving, as the previous two tests flagged deteriorating rear and front tyre tread respectively, which have now been rectified. The low annual usage of approximately 3,775 miles per year suggests the car has been lightly used, though this also indicates the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs may have experienced minimal wear. The MOT history reveals a notable gap of almost 12 months between tests, which could allow minor issues to develop unnoticed. The buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the tyre replacement was completed and assess the brake discs, suspension bushes, and steering components for any signs of corrosion or binding. Given the consistent pattern of tyre degradation, checking the tyre pressures and alignment is also advisable to prevent future failures.
