2015 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · FM64 KLD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards minor wear-related defects. The most recent test in January 2026 at 33,188 miles identified an advisory for a worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush. While this did not result in a failure, it marks the beginning of degradation in the rubber components that was not present during the clean 2022 and early 2025 inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-level usage, with only 1,709 miles covered between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests. This low mileage suggests the engine and drivetrain have faced significantly less stress than average examples, but long periods of inactivity can often lead to dry rot in rubber parts or corrosion of braking surfaces, which may be a factor here given the wear noted in the suspension bush. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension assembly, specifically the offside arm, to check for play or tearing. The history from 2023 and 2024 shows recurring advisories for tyres worn close to the legal limit or on edges, indicating that previous owners likely neglected routine tyre replacements until they became legally necessary. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check the brake discs for pitting or surface rust, as infrequently-used vehicles often suffer from oxidation that high-mileage cars avoid.
