2018 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · FA18 HDG

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 20 January 2026 at 62 927 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend is stable; the only blemish is a failure on 16 December 2024 at 58 092 miles, which was promptly rectified and followed by a successful retest four days later. Otherwise the record shows a clean series of passes dating back to December 2022, suggesting consistent basic upkeep. Mileage progression aligns with typical ageing for a 2018 Golf. Between December 2022 (44 926 miles) and December 2023 (51 493 miles) the car added roughly 6 600 miles, then another 6 600 miles by December 2024. The short interval between the failed test and its retest in the same month, with only a 60‑mile increase, points to a minor fault being corrected rather than a mileage anomaly. The final year to January 2026 added about 4 800 miles, keeping the average near 7 900 miles per year, which is normal for the model’s age. A buyer should inspect the braking system for any binding calipers or uneven pad wear, given the brief failure episode. Suspension bushes and coil springs merit close examination for corrosion or excessive wear, as these components are prone to degradation over high‑mileage use. A visual check of the exhaust and under‑body panels for rust is advisable, especially given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Tyre tread depth and condition should be verified, as they reflect the 62 927‑mile usage pattern, and a service history that matches the recorded mileage will help confirm that routine maintenance has been performed.
