2016 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · CO09 MBE

This vehicle demonstrates a stable and positive roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 17 March 2026 at 85,698 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2021, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a high standard. The mileage is typical for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,570 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last few years, with the gap between the March 2025 test at 76,315 miles and the March 2026 test at 85,698 miles showing a consistent annual usage of approximately 9,300 miles. There are no erratic jumps or long periods of dormancy that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. Historical data reveals only minor lapses in consumable maintenance. The vehicle failed on 5 March 2020 at 33,920 miles due to worn front tyres and an ineffective windscreen wiper. A subsequent advisory for a worn nearside rear tyre appeared in February 2023 at 58,977 miles. These issues are limited to basic wear-and-tear items and do not indicate systemic mechanical failure or owner negligence. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on general wear items given the lack of structural or mechanical flags in the record. While the MOT history shows no issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, the age of the vehicle makes it prudent to check for any emerging corrosion on the underside. The absence of recurring faults suggests a well-kept example, but a manual check of the current tyre tread and brake pad thickness is advised to ensure the current state matches the clean 2026 certificate.
