2018 Volkswagen Golf 1.5L Petrol · CA68 SDV

The 2025‑09‑13 MOT at 82,178 miles passed without recorded defects, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance record demonstrates a stable, improving trend. At eight years of age, the 82,178‑mile reading averages about 10,272 miles per year, which is typical for a 2018 Volkswagen Golf. The interval between the January 2023 failure and the February 2023 pass was only one mile, and subsequent tests show steady mileage growth of 3,600 miles by October 2023, 7,800 miles by October 2024 and 6,600 miles by September 2025, with no extended periods of inactivity evident. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, examine the brake discs and rear calipers for corrosion or binding, and assess the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for rust. Checking tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and exhaust emissions will also reveal whether basic consumable upkeep has been maintained.
