2018 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · CX18 RGY

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 24,806 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes since the 2021 examination. Annual mileage remains low for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show 13,457 miles at the 13 October 2021 test, rising to 17,422 by 20 October 2022, 20,943 on 18 October 2023, 23,250 on 31 October 2024, and 24,806 on 30 October 2025. That averages roughly 2,800 miles per year with no sudden accumulation or gaps in testing. The clean history across all five entries suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that avoided even minor advisories on tyres, brakes, or suspension. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection despite the fault-free record. Low annual use and the 11-month gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests mean components may have degraded through standing rather than wear. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, check brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding after limited use, and inspect underbody and sills for structural rust. Confirm the recorded mileages against service stamps and V5C documentation. The absence of advisories offers no evidence of serious mechanical risk, but a pre-purchase inspection remains sensible given the vehicle's light-use profile.
