2016 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · HD66 AEE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the latest MOT on 2025‑12‑09 recorded a pass at 28,645 miles with no defects. The preceding test on 2024‑12‑04 had failed due to tyre and brake disc issues, but a corrective retest on 2024‑12‑06 yielded a pass, indicating the problems were addressed promptly. Overall the maintenance trend shows an improving pattern: earlier recurring tyre wear and brake disc deterioration have been cleared and the most recent test shows no advisories. Mileage progression is unusually low for a 2016 model; between 2019‑12‑11 (11,721 mi) and 2025‑12‑09 (28,645 mi) the car accumulated just 16,924 miles over six years, averaging roughly 2,800 mi per annum. The MOT entries are spaced annually in December, providing a consistent inspection cadence, and there are no significant mileage jumps that would suggest periods of heavy use or neglect. The sparse but regular record reflects light usage, which is favourable for wear components. A prospective buyer should inspect the rear tyres for cracking and the brake discs for pitting, as these items appeared repeatedly in the 2022‑2024 tests. The front tyre wear patterns noted in 2022‑2024 indicate uneven tread development; a close visual check of the suspension bushes and wheel alignment is advisable. Additionally, examine the under‑body for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and chassis rails, given the vehicle’s age and the documented tyre damage. A thorough brake pedal feel test and a road test for binding or pulsation will confirm the condition of the braking system.
