2018 Volkswagen Golf 1.5L Petrol · LD68 YJC

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 7 November 2025 at 73,040 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend appears to be improving after a period of mechanical instability in late 2024. While the vehicle faced a failure in October 2024 due to leaking shock absorbers and tyre wear, the subsequent pass in October 2024 suggests these specific issues were addressed. The transition from a failed test to a clean certificate indicates a proactive approach to rectifying identified faults. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 73,040 miles, averaging roughly 9,130 miles per year. The records show steady progression, with the mileage increasing from 38,995 in October 2021 to 73,040 in November 2025. There are no significant gaps in usage or evidence of long periods of inactivity, which supports the likelihood of regular mechanical operation. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension components. Although the nearside front shock absorber failed with a serious fluid leak in October 2024, the most recent test shows no further issues. It remains prudent to check for any residual oil misting on the shock absorber bodies or uneven tyre wear. The October 2024 advisory regarding worn rear brake discs should also be verified. While the discs were noted as not excessively worn at the time, the buyer should inspect the thickness of the rear discs and the condition of the pads to ensure they are not approaching the end of their service life.
