2017 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Hybrid electric · GD67 CGK

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-15 shows a failure due to the offside rear tyre having ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii)), a critical safety issue requiring immediate attention. This is the only major defect recorded in the latest test, though the same date also notes a pass —a possible administrative error or conflicting data. The prior MOT in 2024-12-19 recorded worn brake discs (front and rear) and a tyre near the legal limit , while 2022-12-19 noted a tyre worn on the edge and a damaged windscreen . These suggest recurring tyre and brake-related issues, though no serious defects were flagged in 2023. The pattern shows repeated tyre wear concerns, particularly on the offside rear, which may indicate uneven tyre pressure, alignment problems, or inconsistent driving habits. Brake discs were noted as worn but not dangerously weakened in 2024, but no follow-up on this in later tests. The trend appears stable in terms of major mechanical failures, with no worsening of critical issues since 2022. However, the 2025 failure highlights a new safety risk that must be addressed. The vehicle’s mileage of 91,114 miles over 9 years equates to ~10,124 miles per year , which is typical for its age . This suggests average usage rather than heavy wear or prolonged inactivity.
