2018 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · FM67 LMJ

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 February 2026 at 72,829 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes since the earliest entry in this history. Annual mileage has tracked close to the expected average for an eight-year-old car. The tester logged 34,777 miles in February 2022, rising to 43,449 by February 2023, 53,774 by February 2024, 62,227 by February 2025, and 72,829 by February 2026. That equates to roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The record shows no advisories across any test, so we have no flagged wear on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion to scrutinise. A clean five-year MOT run with zero advisories implies the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items within tolerance. Such a history suggests disciplined servicing rather than deferred rectification. The absence of recorded faults does not certify component condition, only that nothing breached test thresholds on the day. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection before purchase. With 72,829 miles on the clock, expect natural wear in dampers, coil springs, and binding calipers that a static MOT bay may not expose. Verify service stamps, check underneath for early structural rust, and measure remaining tyre tread and brake disc thickness independently. The paper record supports the car; hands-on checks confirm it.
