2018 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · FJ18 VCW

The vehicle remains roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 19 February 2026 at 55,945 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance pattern since the previous year. No recurring failures appear, and the absence of advisory items suggests that any earlier concerns have been resolved. Mileage has risen from 20,387 miles at the 19 February 2021 test to 55,945 miles at the latest test, averaging roughly 7,000 miles per year. This progression aligns with typical usage for a 2018 model and shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged idle periods. The record is otherwise clean, with only the 21 February 2025 test noting slight rear‑tyre damage, which does not affect the overall mileage trend. A prospective buyer should examine the rear tyre condition closely, confirming that the sidewalls are free of cracking and that tread depth meets legal limits, as the 2025 advisory hinted at early wear. Inspection of suspension components—bushes, coil springs, and any mounting points—is prudent given the vehicle’s eight‑year age, even though no MOT defects have been logged. Braking performance warrants a visual check of pads and discs for wear, and a thorough look for any surface corrosion or structural rust will ensure that hidden issues have not developed since the last test.
