2015 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · NJ65 XHC

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record of passes across five years of testing. The most recent entry on 2 March 2023 shows the car passed at 89,373 miles. While a failure was recorded on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor rectification performed immediately during the test. There are no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, which is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. Mileage accumulation has remained consistent with typical UK usage. The car covered 10,443 miles between March 2022 and March 2023, a slight increase compared to the 4,959 miles added between March 2021 and March 2022. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting idle, which generally helps preserve rubber seals and prevents battery degradation. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no recurring mechanical faults or warnings regarding consumables. This suggests a previous owner who prioritised preventative maintenance. However, the record has not been updated since March 2023, meaning the vehicle is currently over a year past its last valid test date. A buyer must prioritise a fresh inspection of the braking system and tyre tread depths, as these will have deteriorated during the gap in testing. Check for any new signs of corrosion on the sills and suspension components that may have developed since the 2023 test. Given the lack of historical data on wear items, verifying the date of the last oil change and cambelt replacement is essential to ensure the engine remains roadworthy.
