2018 Volkswagen Golf 1.0L Petrol · SB67 FGG

The vehicle holds a roadworthy status following a pass on February 4, 2026. The maintenance history shows a stable trend, despite a singular failure recorded on January 29, 2026, just six days prior to the successful test. Because the failure entry lists no specific defects, it suggests a non-conforming item or a minor issue that was rectified immediately before the retest rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect or structural degradation. At 50,617 miles, the Golf has averaged approximately 6,327 miles per year over its eight-year lifespan. This aligns with typical usage for a passenger vehicle of this age. The records indicate consistent annual testing intervals between 2023 and 2025, though the significant gap between the January 2025 test and January 2026 tests suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods or the owner delayed the testing deadline during that specific cycle. Since the MOT record lacks any recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake components, or corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items associated with this mileage bracket. A buyer should examine the suspension arms for signs of perished rubber bushings and check the condition of the brake discs for uneven wear or pitting. Given the potential for long stands, verifying the state of the tyres and the presence of leaks is necessary to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from stagnation. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
