2020 Volkswagen Golf Style TDI 2.0L Diesel · FG70 VEP

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. Following a failure in October 2023, the car has passed two consecutive MOT tests with no recorded defects. The most recent test on November 28, 2025 at 47,321 miles confirms that the previous issues were addressed and that the vehicle currently meets all safety and emissions requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. The data shows regular testing intervals, with 5,613 miles covered between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests, and another 3,863 miles leading up to the most recent inspection. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally protects rubber components and seals from drying out or seizing. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the cooling system to ensure the leak identified in 2023 was fully rectified and is not recurring. While the car passed the subsequent tests, a visual check of the hoses and water pump for signs of weeping corrosion is advisable. Given the previous failure for an offside front tyre with exposed cords, verify the remaining tread depth and age of all four tyres to ensure they have not been neglected since that replacement.
