2018 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · DC18 WVF

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 July 2025 at 49,667 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding four annual tests also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the eight-year record, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,200 miles, typical for a 2018 hatchback. The records show steady accumulation: 24,607 miles in July 2022, 29,149 by August 2023, 38,959 by August 2024, and 49,667 by July 2025. The only anomaly is a duplicate entry on 19 July 2022, where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects listed, likely an administrative re-test rather than a genuine fault. The clean history across all dates suggests the previous keeper kept up with basic servicing and avoided neglect. Given the absence of flagged wear, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not captured by MOT pass criteria. Tyres, brake disc thickness, and suspension bushes warrant physical measurement despite no advisories. The clean record offers no evidence of corrosion, binding calipers, or exhaust emission issues, but standing periods between the low annual use could mask perished rubber components unseen in the test lane.
