2015 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · SV65 OFB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 71,710 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years where the tester frequently flagged consumable-related defects. The absence of any defects or advisories in the latest report suggests the current owner has addressed the mechanical and tyre concerns identified in earlier inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between the September 2021 test at 44,423 miles and the November 2025 test at 71,710 miles, the car covered roughly 27,000 miles. This low annual usage suggests light road use, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based suspension components if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the suspension and alignment personally, as the history shows a recurring pattern of uneven tyre wear. From 2022 to 2024, the tester flagged nearside rear and nearside front tyres as worn to the legal limit or worn on the edge. This trend often indicates incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes that have not been fully rectified despite the replacement of the tyres themselves. The 2024 advisory regarding a damaged sidewall lump on the nearside front also suggests a history of impact damage or kering. The braking system requires attention based on the 2023 report of thin front inner brake pads at 58,836 miles. While the vehicle has since passed without issue, a physical check should confirm that the discs are not showing signs of glazing or uneven thinning. Given the lack of structural corrosion or rust noted in the history, the primary focus remains on the state of the consumables and the cause of the recurring tyre wear patterns.
