2015 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · LF65 WBW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 August 2025 at 33,074 miles. However, the maintenance trend is concerning due to a persistent failure to address recurring advisories. The tester flagged a perishing offside front tyre in the 2025 test, a fault that has appeared in every annual inspection since August 2019. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where the owner ignores advisories until they become critical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eleven year old car, averaging roughly 3,007 miles per year. The record shows a steady but light increase from 14,170 miles in September 2018 to 33,074 miles in August 2025. This low usage pattern often leads to the perishing of rubber components, which is evident in the repeated tyre cracking and structural failures noted throughout the history. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension and tyres. The front shock absorbers have been flagged for oil misting since August 2019, appearing again in August 2023 and August 2024. This indicates the dampers are leaking and likely degraded. The tyre history is equally poor, with a failure for a structural bulge in August 2024 and multiple instances of perishing rubber. The repeated neglect of these specific components suggests the vehicle has spent long periods stationary. While there are no records of structural corrosion or brake failure, the chronic issues with the shock absorbers and tyre integrity should be resolved immediately. A professional check of all rubber bushings and seals is recommended to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in premature dry rot.
