2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI TSI S-A 2.0L Petrol · FD21 XOW

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy condition, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 18 May 2026 at 33,940 miles which returned with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the current owner has successfully addressed previously identified issues. The transition from recorded faults to a clean pass suggests that the vehicle is currently meeting all regulatory standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. The data shows steady progression between tests, moving from 15,079 miles in June 2024 to 24,023 miles in June 2025, and reaching 33,940 miles by the most recent inspection. This relatively low mileage generally implies that mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components remains limited compared to high-mileage examples of the GTI. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system to ensure the previous advisories were fully rectified. The June 2024 test at 15,079 miles flagged both front and rear brake pads as wearing thin, and the 2025 test noted a nail in the offside rear tyre. While these are consumable items, the buyer should verify that the brake discs show no scoring or thinning and that the tyres have sufficient tread and even wear. Given the age of the car, checking for signs of rubber cracking in suspension bushes is also prudent, as low mileage does not always prevent material degradation over time.
