2018 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · A718 MOO

A consistent record of passing MOT tests characterizes this vehicle, though the most recent inspection on 27 April 2026 indicates the onset of specific tyre wear. While the vehicle passed without mechanical defects from 2023 through 2025, the latest result introduces advisories for both rear tyres, suggesting a decline in the condition of the rear axle consumables. The recorded mileage of 52,742 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,593 miles over eight years. This is a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age, indicating steady use rather than extreme mileage or long periods of standing. Mechanically, this suggests that wear on suspension components and tyres is occurring at a standard rate, which is reflected in the current advisories. Attention must be paid to the offside and nearside rear tyres, which were flagged for being worn close to the legal limit specifically on the inner edges. This pattern of uneven wear is frequently associated with incorrect rear wheel alignment or the degradation of suspension bushes and linkages. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any instability in the rear of the car or a tendency for the vehicle to wander, and listen for increased road noise that may result from the uneven tread profile. A physical check of the inner tyre edges is essential to confirm the remaining tread depth to ensure continued roadworthiness.
