2018 Volkswagen Golf 1.5L Petrol · DU18 AAX

The MOT record for this 2018 Volkswagen Golf shows a consistently clean history with no defects recorded across all tests. The most recent test in April 2025 at 65,006 miles passed without any advisories, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy and the maintenance trend is stable. The single failure in April 2024 at 50,932 miles recorded no defects, suggesting a minor administrative issue or a quick retest rather than a mechanical problem. The recorded mileage of 65,006 miles over approximately eight years equates to roughly 8,126 miles per year, which is typical for a car of this age. The annual mileage has increased from around 5,000 miles between 2022 and 2023 to over 12,000 miles between 2023 and 2024, and then to 14,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. This suggests the car has seen heavier use in recent years, but the MOT history does not indicate any resulting mechanical issues. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Focus on typical wear items for a car with 65,000 miles: check the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of corrosion or wear, inspect brake discs and pads for scoring or thinning, and examine tyres for uneven wear or cracking. Also, look for any structural corrosion, particularly on the underbody and suspension mounting points, as these can develop over time. The lack of recorded advisories is positive, but a professional inspection will confirm the vehicle's true condition.
