2015 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · PE65 KYN

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the long term. The most recent inspection conducted in March 2026 at 91,206 miles passed without defects, although the tester noted light oil misting on both rear shock absorbers. This indicates the early stages of component wear rather than an immediate mechanical failure, following a clean sheet of results in the March 2025 test. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between December 2023 and March 2026, where the car covered over 28,000 miles in just fifteen months. Prior to this period, the accumulation was much lower, with only 8,036 miles recorded between the two 2023 tests. This suggests the vehicle has recently transitioned into much more frequent use, which typically leads to accelerated wear on rubber components and fluids like the shock absorbers. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension to ensure the noted misting has not progressed to a significant leak that would compromise handling. The 2021 advisory regarding an offside rear tyre worn to the edge suggests a past issue with alignment or uneven wear, so checking the current tread profile across all four tyres is necessary. Given the clean structural results in the most recent years, the primary focus should remain on monitoring the chassis for corrosion and ensuring the suspension bushings remain intact for a Golf of this age and mileage.
