2015 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · RK65 VWW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from mechanical neglect to reactive consumable replacement. The most recent test in September 2025 at 93,701 miles passed despite advisories for a perishing nearside rear tyre and wear on the offside rear. This indicates a departure from the clean 2024 record, suggesting that the vehicle is now entering a phase where rubber components are requiring frequent attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 61,396 miles and September 2025 at 93,701 miles, the car covered 32,305 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 8,000 miles annually. This consistent accumulation suggests typical use rather than long periods of standing, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components seen in the recent records. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking and suspension systems based on previous failures. The September 2022 test at 75,003 miles flagged pitted front and rear brake discs along with corroded rear coil springs. While these items have since passed, the recurring uneven tyre wear noted in 2023 and 2025 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have not been fully addressed. Check the inner arches for further corrosion and the coil springs for any deformation to ensure the structural integrity flagged in 2022 was properly remediated.
