2016 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · LM65 AEP

This Volkswagen Golf presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 5 January 2026 at 67,414 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2023, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and is currently in a roadworthy condition. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a ten year old vehicle. Between 4 January 2023 and 5 January 2026, the odometer increased from 43,789 to 67,414 miles, averaging roughly 8,200 miles per year over the last three years. This consistent usage suggests the car has avoided the risks associated with long periods of standing, such as perished seals or seized brake calipers. The MOT history is remarkably clean. A single failure on 4 January 2023 at 43,789 miles was resolved immediately on the same day, and the record shows no recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs. There are no mentions of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures, which are common pain points for vehicles of this vintage. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear and tear items that the MOT does not always flag as failures until they reach a critical limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads. Given the lack of advisories over the last four years, the mechanical integrity appears sound, but a buyer should still verify the service history to ensure oil changes and filter replacements align with the mileage growth.
