2018 Volkswagen Golf 1.5L Petrol · LN68 TPX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass during the most recent inspection on August 15, 2025 at 39,767 miles. This latest result indicates that all mechanical and safety components currently meet the minimum standard. This represents an improvement over the 2024 test where the vehicle was flagged for tyre wear, which appears to have been addressed subsequently. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 39,767 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with intervals of roughly 6,000 miles recorded between August 2023 and August 2024, and approximately 4,200 miles between August 2024 and 2025. Such low mileage generally suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber seals or brake fluid moisture. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 advisory noted both the nearside and offside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This pattern often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes rather than simple mileage. While the 2022 failure was limited to non-mechanical registration plate compliance, the buyer should still verify the brake discs for pitting or seizing, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion if not used frequently.
