2018 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · GD18 AAN

The 2025‑09‑22 MOT at 92,029 miles passed, confirming roadworthiness, but the recorded edge wear on both front tyres (5.2.3 (e)) points to a persistent alignment or suspension issue that remains unresolved. The tester flagged the tyre wear as the only defect, indicating the vehicle is currently compliant with legal standards. Mileage has climbed from 43,247 miles in October 2021 to 92,029 miles in September 2025, a rise of roughly 11,500 miles per year, matching the typical usage for an eight‑year‑old Volkswagen Golf and showing no extended periods of low activity. Recurring observations include thin off‑side rear brake pads (2022, 2024), multiple light source failure on the near‑side side repeater (2024), and an exhaust lambda reading out of limit in the 2021 failure, all of which suggest ongoing wear of braking components, electrical connections, and exhaust system integrity that merit close inspection. A buyer should therefore examine suspension bushes and alignment geometry to address the tyre edge wear, verify brake disc and pad condition, test all exterior lighting functions, and inspect the exhaust for corrosion or sensor faults, while also checking for any structural rust that might not be evident from the MOT record alone.
