2021 Volkswagen Golf R TSI 4MOTION S-A 2.0L Petrol · FN21 KVX

The vehicle demonstrates a completely stable and exemplary maintenance trend, passing every MOT test without a single recorded defect. The most recent examination on 29 January 2026 at 54,857 miles yielded a clean pass, confirming the Golf R currently meets all roadworthiness standards. This unblemished record indicates a highly diligent approach to preventative maintenance and servicing. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 10,971 miles annually. However, the interval between the February 2024 test at 38,657 miles and the October 2024 test at 52,340 miles shows a significant spike of 13,683 miles in just eight months. Following this period, usage dropped sharply, with only 2,195 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025, and a mere 322 miles recorded between October 2025 and the January 2026 test. This pattern suggests a shift from sustained high-speed motorway commuting to very light local use, or potentially a period of prolonged standing. Despite the flawless MOT record, the recent drastic reduction in mileage warrants a physical inspection of components susceptible to deterioration from prolonged inactivity. A buyer should examine the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, which commonly develops when a vehicle stands for extended periods, potentially causing binding upon return to use. Tyre condition requires close scrutiny, specifically looking for sidewall cracking or flat spots resulting from stationary storage rather than tread wear alone. The 4Motion drivetrain and suspension bushes should be checked for any signs of perishing or fluid leaks that can occur during dormancy. The high mileage accumulated rapidly in early 2024 also justifies inspecting the dual-clutch gearbox fluid condition and the turbocharger for any signs of oil weeping, ensuring the powertrain remains robust despite the varying usage patterns.
