2018 Volkswagen Golf 1.0L Petrol · FN68 FSC

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test, a pass recorded on 18 December 2025 at 80,427 miles with no defects listed. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with each annual examination either passing or failing on administrative grounds rather than mechanical fault. No advisories or worn components appear at any stage. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year. The record shows 69,879 miles on 20 December 2024, rising to 69,881 miles by 27 December 2024 and then 80,427 miles by 18 December 2025, a gain of about 10,500 miles over twelve months. The data is sparse and clean, with no intermediate tests to reveal consumable wear between annual checks. The repeated failures on 20 and 27 December 2024 and again on 18 December 2025, all at identical mileages and with no defects recorded, indicate administrative rejections rather than flagged mechanical issues such as corroded suspension bushes, worn brake discs, or exhaust leaks. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers, as the MOT record offers no insight into latent wear hidden behind the clean pass. Given the absence of any advisories across the timeline, previous keepers likely maintained statutory testing discipline even if the duplicate entries suggest clerical or presentation errors at the testing centre. Verify the vehicle's service book against the 80,427-mile odometer to confirm routine oil, filter, and timing belt intervals were met outside the MOT scope.
