2015 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · LC64 OTG

This 2015 Volkswagen Golf has a typical mileage profile for its age, suggesting consistent use rather than excessive wear or long periods of standing. The most recent MOT in January 2026 was a pass, but only after a failure involving lighting and brake wear. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, there is a clear worsening trend regarding the rear suspension. Both rear shock absorbers have been flagged for oil misting since at least January 2025, indicating they are beginning to fail and will likely require replacement soon. The recent failure for thin brake pads and lighting issues suggests a decline in preventative maintenance. While previous years were clean, the current pattern shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive care. When inspecting the car, prioritize checking the rear suspension for leaks or instability. You should also verify the current thickness of the brake pads and ensure all exterior lighting is fully operational.
