2018 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · LG13 ABY

The vehicle holds a valid MOT pass issued on 30 September 2025 at 90,034 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, supported by a clean pass in October 2024 at 71,442 miles following a failure the previous month at 71,408 miles. That September 2024 failure warrants scrutiny, as the absence of recorded defects suggests either a minor, quickly resolved issue or an administrative flag rather than a persistent mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation averages roughly 11,254 miles per year over the eight-year age span, aligning with typical usage for a Golf of this vintage. The gap between the September 2023 pass at 53,943 miles and the September 2024 failure at 71,408 miles indicates approximately 17,465 miles covered in twelve months, a slight increase from prior intervals but not excessive. No evidence of long-standing inactivity or erratic mileage jumps appears in the record, and the mileage progression remains consistent with regular use. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise inspection of high-mileage consumables and wear items. Brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre condition merit close attention, as these components typically require replacement or refurbishment around the 90,000-mile mark. The September 2024 failure, though defect-free on record, suggests a potential intermittent issue; verifying brake function, exhaust emissions, and steering alignment in person would be prudent. No structural corrosion or recurring advisories have been noted, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection remains advisable to confirm the vehicle's ongoing roadworthiness.
