2021 Volkswagen Golf Active Etsi S-A 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · EX71 HDC

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 November 2025 at 32,275 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior successful test on 12 November 2024 at 22,078 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a failed test on 11 November 2024 at 22,077 miles, which the record lists with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault with the vehicle itself. The mileage pattern sits at typical levels for a five-year-old car. From the November 2024 test at 22,078 miles to the November 2025 test at 32,275 miles, the car covered 10,197 miles in twelve months, close to the implied annual average of 6,455 miles across its life. The record shows no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps; the three entries span just over one year, which is a sparse but clean history with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across either pass. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items the MOT does not deeply measure between tests. The clean record gives no signal of worn coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions issues, but the low test frequency means intermediate wear on brake discs and tyre tread is unverified. Given the 2024 failure with no defects logged, confirm with the seller whether that was a documentation error or a withdrawn application before purchase. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the data, so no structural or drivetrain concerns are flagged by the DVLA history. The previous owner kept the car to a standard that passed every recorded roadworthiness check once the anomalous 2024 failure was cleared the next day. Treat the Golf as a low-risk used purchase on paper, subject to a standard pre-sale mechanical check.
