2013 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · T55 EBX

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-07-20, with a mileage of 77,646 miles, although a minor leak of exhaust gases from the rear exhaust's back box joint was noted. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no major defects recorded in the past two years. However, the recent advisory on the exhaust system may indicate a need for repair or replacement in the near future. The recorded mileage of 77,646 miles, accumulated over about 13 years, suggests a relatively low annual mileage of around 5,973 miles per year. This is a positive indicator of the vehicle's potential for longevity. However, a closer examination of the mileage pattern reveals a moderate increase in mileage between 2016 and 2017, with 11,297 miles accumulated in a single year. This may indicate a period of more frequent use or a change in ownership. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person, paying particular attention to the rear exhaust system, given the recent advisory on a minor leak. Furthermore, the history of worn tyres on multiple occasions suggests that tyre maintenance may not have been a priority for previous owners. The buyer should also inspect the brake pads and discs, as the 2021 failure on the nearside rear brake pad was a significant issue. Additionally, the vehicle's structural integrity and corrosion status should be assessed, particularly around the rear exhaust and brake components.
