2013 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · AV13 UNY

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent passing MOT on 3 June 2026 at 103,013 miles. While the car has maintained a consistent pass rate, the most recent inspection flagged edge wear on the nearside rear and offside front tyres. This indicates that while the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the tyres are approaching the end of their service life and will require replacement soon. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 26,467 miles in 2016 to the current 103,013 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, suggesting the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting idle for extended periods. The brake system history shows a specific failure on 28 May 2024 at 82,540 miles due to an offside rear service brake binding excessively. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, a buyer should inspect the rear brake calipers and discs for signs of uneven wear or sticking. The 2022 advisory regarding perished rear tyres suggests that rubber degradation is a recurring maintenance item for this vehicle, likely due to the relatively low annual mileage. Beyond the tyres and brakes, the mechanical history appears clean with no recorded issues regarding structural integrity, exhaust emissions, or suspension components. A physical inspection should focus on the current condition of the tyre treads and the smoothness of the braking action to ensure the previous binding issue has been fully resolved.
