2020 Volkswagen Golf GTD TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · DF70 DLN

The 2026-01-08 MOT at 77,984 miles passed with no defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards and the maintenance trend is improving after earlier faults. The most recent January 2026 test at 77,984 miles recorded a clean pass, resolving the front and rear brake pad wear, tyre perishing and shock oil misting noted in the December 2023 test at 50,930 miles. At six years old, the recorded mileage of 77,984 equates to roughly 13,000 miles per year, a high figure for a 2020 model. The interval from the December 2023 test (50,930 miles) to the January 2025 test (69,568 miles) shows an accumulation of 18,638 miles over 15 months, averaging 12,425 miles annually, while the subsequent 11‑month period added 8,416 miles, confirming consistent high usage without significant gaps in the record. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear shock absorbers show no renewed oil leakage, inspect the brake discs and pads for thickness and any binding calipers, and assess tyre condition for remaining tread depth and edge wear, while also checking for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis rails.
