2018 Volkswagen Golf 1.5L Petrol · PF67 TSV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 January 2026 at 60,930 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in January 2025 at 55,768 miles, suggesting that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 60,930 miles, averaging roughly 7,600 miles per year. The data shows steady progression between tests, with 5,012 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026, and 7,918 miles between January 2024 and January 2025. This regular usage pattern reduces the likelihood of the deterioration often seen in vehicles that sit idle for long periods. The MOT history reveals specific patterns regarding consumable wear and suspension components. In January 2023, the tester flagged thinning rear brake pads and light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber. The shock absorber issue recurred in the January 2022 test at 33,754 miles. While the recent clean passes indicate these components have likely been replaced or repaired, a buyer should visually inspect the nearside front suspension for any signs of renewed weeping. Tyre maintenance has also been a recurring theme. The January 2024 test at 48,750 miles noted both nearside and offside front inner tyres were worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This followed advisories for cracking and perishing on the rear tyres in January 2022. Although the recent records show no tyre defects, the history suggests a tendency for uneven wear or delayed replacement. A physical inspection of the current tyre tread depth and evenness across all four corners is advised to ensure the alignment and replacement intervals are being managed correctly.
