2015 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · GW62 ARY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening regarding consumable components and suspension. While the most recent test in February 2026 passed, it highlighted way issues with tyre condition, specifically a damaged sidewall on the nearside front and uneven wear on the offside rear. This indicates a pattern of neglect regarding tyre maintenance and alignment that has persisted across 2025 and 2026. At 77,398 miles, the artwork has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for an artwork-year-old vehicle. The data shows a steady accumulation pattern, with roughly 9,400 miles covered between early 2025 and early 2026. While the low mileage suggests the engine has not been subjected to extreme mechanical stress, the age of the vehicle means that degradation of rubber components and seals is more likely, which is reflected in the Advisories. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and wheel alignment, as the repeated reports of uneven and edge wear on multiple tyres suggest potential issues with tracking or worn bushes. The light misting on the nearside rear shock absorber noted in 2025 should be monitored for active leaking to ensure the component is not failing. Additionally, the tyres must be checked for sidewall integrity and consistent wear, as the history shows a history of structural tyre failures and poor replacement habits.
