2016 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · CE16 WFZ

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 15 January 2026 at 76,849 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 14 January 2025 at 72,003 miles and again on 16 January 2024 at 63,996 miles. The January 2025 record also shows a failed test on the same date and mileage, but with no defects listed, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages close to 7,685 miles across the ten-year life, a typical figure for this age of vehicle. The records show steady annual accumulation: 56,874 miles in January 2023, rising to 63,996 by January 2024, 72,003 by January 2025, and 76,849 by January 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps in use appear. The clean pass history with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion points to consistent basic upkeep by previous keepers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken clean record. The MOT dataset lacks detailed advisory notes, so worn coil springs, binding calipers, or early structural rust may sit below the test failure threshold. Check brake disc condition and suspension arm bushes for incipient wear at 76,849 miles. Verify the January 2025 failure reason with DVSA, given the zero-defect anomaly. Confirm service history matches the recorded mileages before purchase.
