2020 Volkswagen E-Golf Electric · CA69 UTL

The vehicle currently maintains a good roadworthy condition, showing a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in May 2026 at 44,475 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This follows a clean result from December 2024, suggesting that the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to meet regulatory standards. At 44,475 miles over six years, the car averages approximately 7,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a modern electric vehicle. The data shows consistent use between tests, such as the 3,234 miles driven between the December 2024 and February 2026 tests. This steady mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber seals and fluid components in the high-voltage system. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension components during a physical inspection. The December 2022 test flagged a slight play in the offside rear upper anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, and the February 2026 test noted cracking and perishing on both rear tyres. While the tyres passed the test, the presence of rubber degradation suggests that components may be aging faster than the mileage would indicate. A technician should verify the suspension bushes and linkages for signs of premature wear or tearing to ensure handling remains precise. The December 2023 record notes that undertrays prevented a full inspection of the vehicle's underside. While these are common on modern electric cars for aerodynamics and battery protection, one should request a visual check of the chassis and mounting points to ensure no structural corrosion or damage remains hidden beneath these shields. Beyond this specific point, the history reflects a well-kept vehicle with no recurring mechanical failures or serious structural risks.
