2016 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · PY66 FFH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on June 1 2026 at 61,437 miles passed with an advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn near the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows a significant failure in June 2024 where multiple tyre-related defects were identified, suggesting that the owner only addresses safety issues once they trigger an MOT failure. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,144 miles per year. Between June 2024 and June 2025, the car covered 3,354 miles, while it clocked another 3,235 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This low annual usage generally reduces wear and tear on drivetrain components and engine internals, but it can also lead to flat spots or rubber perish if the vehicle sits for long periods between tests. A buyer must personally inspect the wheel alignment and suspension components due to the edge wear noted on the nearside rear tyre in the latest record. The 2024 failure involving exposed ply cords on the offside front and deep cuts on the nearside rear indicates a history of poor tyre management or impact damage. You should also verify the windscreen wiper blades, as these caused a failure in June 2025 for poor clearing, and ensure they have been replaced with a high-quality pair rather than a budget alternative.
