2018 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · PJ18 EDP

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT results indicate a shift toward neglected consumable maintenance. While the car passed its September 2025 test, the tester flagged several items that suggest a decline in routine upkeep. Specifically, the nearside and offside front brake discs were noted as worn, pitted, or scored. The rear tyres also showed significant wear, being close to the legal limit with visible tread cracking. These findings suggest that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, the owner has allowed wear items to reach the end of their service life without proactive replacement. The mileage accumulation follows a consistent and predictable pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 95,066 miles, averaging roughly 11,883 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with the mileage rising from 42,403 in April 2021 to 95,066 in September 2025. This consistent annual increase indicates regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished seals often found in low-mileage, stationary vehicles. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The pitting and scoring on the front brake discs recorded in September 2025 may indicate they require replacement rather than just resurfacing. The tread cracking on the rear tyres is a concern for long-term structural integrity and should be checked for deeper sidewall damage. Additionally, the windscreen has been flagged for damage in both September 2021 and September 2025, so the current state of the glass should be verified to ensure no chips have developed into cracks that could fail a future test.
