2015 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · LK15 MFP

The vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards as of 2026-06-18, with a MOT record spanning from 2021 to 2025. The most recent test on 2025-07-02 at 28,691 miles was passed, confirming that the vehicle is currently in the clear. However, the maintenance history indicates a trend of worsening condition rather than improvement, as the inspection notes a recurring issue with nearside front shock absorbers. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap between the most recent test and the vehicle's age of 11 years. The test on 2025-07-02 was conducted at 28,691 miles, which is approximately 2,608 miles per year, a rate that is low for a 11-year-old car, suggesting the vehicle may have been driven less frequently or that the mileage has been artificially inflated. The 2025-07-02 test was the only time the vehicle was tested prior to the current date, making it the most recent and only one available data point for this specific assessment. Based on the recurring faults of nearside front shock absorbers, the buyer should inspect the suspension system and brake components personally. The light misting of oil found during this test indicates that the suspension bushings and oil seals have degraded, which is a warning sign of structural integrity. While the brakes remain in good condition, the oil degradation in the suspension suggests that the vehicle may require more frequent checks to prevent further wear on the bushings and potential failure of the suspension system.
