2020 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · CA20 TMX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in May 2026 at 67,742 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest inspection introduced a minor advisory for a damaged or perished offside rear tyre. While the 2024 test showed a clean record, the recurrence of tyre-related issues in more recent tests suggests that the previous owners only addressed consumable items as they approached legal failure limits. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for this age, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 40,234 miles and the May 2025 test at 58,782 miles, the car covered roughly 18,000 miles over two years. The subsequent interval of 9,000 miles leading to the 2026 test indicates a regular usage cycle which generally suggests predictable wear on the mechanical components and suspension assembly. A buyer should conduct a close in-person inspection of the braking system and all four tyre components. The July 2023 test flagged thin rear brake pads and front tyres worn to the legal limit, indicating a reactive maintenance style rather than proactive replacement. The 2026 advisory regarding a perished offside rear tyre further necessitates a check for dry rot or age-related cracking across the remaining set. Additionally, verify the tyres for uneven wear, as the previous edge wear noted in 2023 often stems from alignment issues or worn suspension bushings.
