2020 Volkswagen Golf 1.5L Petrol · CF20 EXS

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 at 50,313 miles, indicating overall roadworthiness, yet the tester flagged light misting of oil from both nearside and offside front shock absorbers and noted the off‑side rear tyre as slightly out of shape. These minor defects suggest a stable condition with emerging suspension‑related wear rather than a deteriorating trend. Mileage has risen from 21,895 miles in August 2023 to 26,097 miles in June 2024, then to 38,207 miles in May 2025 and 50,313 miles in May 2026. The pattern equates to roughly 8,400 miles per year, a figure typical for a six‑year‑old Golf. The increase between 2024 and 2025, and again to 2026, reflects a modest acceleration but does not reveal any abnormal spikes or prolonged idle periods. A prospective buyer should examine the front shock absorbers for oil seepage, verify that the suspension bushes and coil springs are free of corrosion or excessive play, and confirm that the rear tyre’s out‑of‑shape condition is not symptomatic of underlying wheel bearing or alignment issues. While no brake faults appear in the record, a visual and functional check of the brake discs, pads and calipers remains prudent. Finally, a thorough inspection for any rust on structural panels will ensure that no hidden deterioration compromises the vehicle’s integrity.
