2015 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · MX65 YFV

The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 9 June 2026 at 124,744 miles, but the tester flagged rear brake disc wear (pitted/scored), front suspension arm pin/bush wear and rear tyre damage. The record shows a deterioration through 2024‑2025, with a failure in June 2025 at 114,221 miles, followed by a corrective pass in June 2026. The trend is therefore improving, yet several wear items persist and merit close attention. Between 2018 and 2026 the car accumulated roughly 124,744 miles over eight years, averaging about 11,300 miles per year, which is typical for a nine‑year‑old vehicle. MOT entries cluster around the anniversary dates (June‑July), with a notable gap of almost a year between the June 2025 failure and the June 2026 pass, indicating limited testing frequency in that period. Earlier years (2019‑2024) show clean records, reflecting intervals of low defect incidence. A buyer should inspect the rear brake discs for pitting and measure thickness, check the front suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, and examine the rear tyre for cracking or uneven wear. The front tyre condition must be verified against the legal tread limit, and the shock absorbers inspected for oil misting. The rear lower coil springs require visual inspection for corrosion and fracture, and both axle brake discs should be measured for wear. Any rust on the chassis or underbody should be assessed, as the history notes intermittent corrosion on coil springs.
