2013 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · CV63 OSW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the most recent MOT test held on 18 June 2024 at 133,079 miles. The maintenance history shows a stable pattern of passing tests, indicating that the vehicle's immediate mechanical integrity is currently satisfactory. However, the 2024 record flags several components requiring attention, specifically noting slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint and wear on the front suspension arm pin or bush. The recurring issues with tyre wear and brake disc condition suggest that routine maintenance on consumables and braking systems is necessary to prevent these minor defects from escalating into significant mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,237 miles per year over the past thirteen years. The record shows no significant gaps in testing, with entries occurring roughly every six to nine months. The history of tyre wear, particularly the repeated flagging of tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge across multiple years, suggests that the previous owners may have prioritized driving over the timely replacement of wear items. The presence of rust on the underside noted in the 2023 test also indicates a need for inspection of structural integrity beneath the vehicle. A buyer should inspect the suspension components immediately, focusing on the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint and the front suspension arm pin or bush for signs of excessive wear or damage. The history of worn rear brake discs, noted in 2021 and 2024, requires verification of the remaining thickness and surface condition of the discs and pads. Furthermore, the noted corrosion on the offside front sub-frame and the general rust on the underside necessitate a thorough visual inspection of the chassis and undercarriage to ensure there is no serious structural compromise.
