2021 Volkswagen Golf Style TSI 1.5L Petrol · CA21 SWX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 47,224 miles resulted in a failure due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. While the vehicle passed immediately upon rectification, the failure indicates that the owner waited for the MOT deadline before addressing essential consumable items. The recorded mileage of 47,224 miles over five years represents an average annual of approximately 9,445 miles per year. This aligns with standard UK usage patterns for a modern family car. Between the 16 October 2024 test at 39,429 miles and the October 2025 test, the car covered 7,795 miles. This consistent accumulation suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and steering geometry, as the recurring reports of uneven wear on both the offside front in 2024 and the nearside front in 2025 suggest a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system also requires verification to ensure the sensors or control module were properly repaired rather than merely reset. Given the history of borderline tyre condition, a physical check of the current set of tyres is necessary to ensure no further premature wear is occurring.
