2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI TSI S-A 2.0L Petrol · DU21 HWT

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate following the most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 31,379 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though the latest inspection introduced a minor advisory for tyre wear. Prior to that, two consecutive clean passes in March 2025 and March 2024 suggest the car has been kept in generally sound mechanical order with no recurring serious defects. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 6,276 miles per year, which is typical for a five-year-old Golf GTI. The gap between the March 2024 test at 19,583 miles and the March 2025 test at 26,864 miles shows a steady increase of 7,281 miles over twelve months. The subsequent jump to 31,379 miles by late October 2025 adds a further 4,515 miles in just over seven months, indicating a modest uptick in usage during that period. No suspicious gaps or sudden drops appear in the record. The sole advisory raised in the October 2025 test concerns tyres worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear on all four. This points to a consumable item approaching replacement rather than a structural or mechanical failure. Edge wear on all tyres could suggest alignment or suspension geometry issues, so a buyer should have the tracking and suspension bushes inspected in person. Given the car is a performance variant, checking the condition of the brake discs, pads, and calipers for uneven wear or binding would also be prudent. The exhaust system and DPF function deserve attention too, particularly if the car has been used predominantly for short journeys despite its relatively low overall mileage. No corrosion, emissions failures, or structural defects appear in the record. The advisory history is minimal for the vehicle's age. A prospective buyer should still verify the condition of the underside for rust, inspect the coil springs and dampers for leaks or sag, and confirm that the dual-clutch gearbox operates smoothly through all gears. The MOT record paints a picture of a well-maintained car with only routine wear items requiring attention.
