2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.5L Petrol · RV67 KZB

This 2017 Volkswagen Golf has a relatively clean MOT history, with its most recent test in December 2025 being a pass. However, there is a clear and recurring pattern of tyre degradation that has appeared in every MOT since 2023. The primary risk pattern is the consistent presence of tyres that are cracking or perishing. This is a classic sign of a vehicle that spends long periods stationary or is driven infrequently, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The fact that all four tyres were flagged in 2023 and 2024, and the rear tyres were flagged again in the most recent test, suggests the rubber is aging significantly. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be worsening in terms of rubber component ageing. While the car passed, the repeated advisories for perishing tyres indicate that a full set of replacements is likely due or already overdue to ensure safety. With only 48,722 miles covered over nine years, the mileage is significantly lower than average. While this implies less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it reinforces the suspicion of long periods of standing. Low mileage can often lead to the exact type of rubber perishing and potential seal issues seen in this history.
