2021 Volkswagen Golf GTE S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric · FL71 ENM

The 2021 Volkswagen Golf GTE S‑A is currently roadworthy, having passed the December 8 2025 MOT at 68,470 miles with no defects recorded. The earlier failure on December 18 2024 at 47,639 miles, which listed worn tyres and a fractured wheel bead, was remedied before the subsequent test, indicating a stable maintenance trend. At five years old, the vehicle has accumulated roughly 13,700 miles per year, a rate that exceeds typical usage for a car of this age and suggests considerable wear on consumables and mechanical components. The mileage jump from the December 2024 test (47,639 mi) to the December 2025 test (68,470 mi) occurred within a single year, indicating intensified use after the earlier repair. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension and steering geometry that produced the inner‑edge tyre wear and the fractured wheel bead, inspecting bushes, ball joints, tie‑rod ends and wheel bearings for play or corrosion. The brake system must be examined for binding calipers, worn pads, and disc condition, while the chassis and wheel arches should be checked for structural rust or previous impact damage that could affect long‑term integrity.
