2016 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · YA65 MHL

The 2025‑09‑18 MOT at 89,963 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. All previous tests from 2022 through 2024 also showed passes with no recorded defects, suggesting consistent upkeep. The mileage progression from 77,778 miles in August 2022 to 89,963 miles in September 2025 reflects an average annual increase of roughly 9,000 miles, matching the typical usage for a 2016 model that is now ten years old. The only irregularity is the dual entries on 21 September 2023 at 85,810 and 85,828 miles, but both resulted in passes, and no other large jumps are evident. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, inspect brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and look for structural rust around the wheel arches, sills and chassis rails. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion and proper emission levels, while tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition merit attention as routine consumables.
