2015 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · CU65 AVW

The 2015 Volkswagen Golf remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-08-18 at 97,656 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows stability, as the vehicle passed subsequent tests in 2024 and 2023 without notable issues. However, two consecutive failures in 2024-08-12 (86,315 miles) and 2023-08-30 (79,170 miles) without recorded defects suggest potential unresolved concerns, though these were addressed prior to the latest pass. The absence of mechanical or structural warnings in the most recent test indicates the vehicle is currently in acceptable condition. The mileage of 97,656 miles over 11 years equates to an average of 8,878 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. A significant jump from 79,170 miles (2023-08-30) to 86,320 miles (2024-08-14) over 12 months suggests increased activity, which may accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and tyres. No irregularities in the MOT record indicate prolonged inactivity, but the recent 11,336-mile increase since 2024-08-14 warrants scrutiny for potential overuse of consumables or drivetrain stress. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The absence of corrosion reports is positive, but a thorough check for rust on underbody components is advisable. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be examined for wear, as repeated MOTs without defects may mask gradual degradation. The exhaust system and emissions compliance should also be verified, as these are common areas for older vehicles to develop issues. Overall, the MOT history reflects responsible maintenance, but physical inspection is essential to confirm the car’s current mechanical state.
