2016 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · PF66 AEZ

The 2025‑12‑15 MOT at 85,274 miles passed, but the tester flagged near‑side rear tyre perishing, off‑side rear tyre perishing and a defective rear reflector, meaning the vehicle meets the legal standard despite minor tyre and lighting repairs being required. The overall roadworthiness is therefore acceptable, with no major mechanical failures recorded. Mileage has risen steadily from 42,561 miles in December 2019 to 85,274 miles in December 2025, averaging about 8,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old car and shows no extended periods of inactivity. The consistent intervals between tests, with mileage jumps of roughly 6,000 to 15,000 miles, indicate regular driving rather than long standing. Recurring tyre perishing and the 2019 note that rear brake pads were wearing thin point to potential suspension or alignment wear, while the repeated edge wear on tyre treads suggests the need to examine suspension bushes, coil springs and wheel alignment before purchase. Inspect the rear brake discs, calipers and structural rust on the chassis and suspension mounting points. In summary, the vehicle is roadworthy but requires attention to tyre condition, rear lighting, brake health and suspension components, and a buyer should verify that the identified wear has not progressed to structural damage or binding components.
