2019 Volkswagen E-Golf Electric · LM69 WCE

The latest MOT test conducted on 30 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2022, the vehicle has maintained a consistently clean record with no failures or advisories. This indicates a very stable maintenance trend and suggests that the previous owner has likely addressed wear and tear items proactively before they reached a critical failure point, reflecting a high standard of mechanical upkeep. The vehicle has covered 59,185 miles over approximately seven years, averaging roughly 8,455 miles per annum. This usage rate is considered typical for a vehicle of this age and type, suggesting a balanced duty cycle. There are no signs of excessive mileage accumulation that would lead to premature drivetrain wear, nor is the mileage low enough to suggest the vehicle has suffered from prolonged periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean, a prospective buyer should focus on time-based degradation and consumables that may not trigger an MOT failure but affect long-term reliability. A physical inspection of the tyres is essential; despite sufficient tread depth, check the sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, particularly if the tyres are several years old. The 12V auxiliary battery should be tested for health, as these can degrade over time regardless of mileage, potentially causing electronic glitches or starting issues for the high-voltage system. Furthermore, the buyer should verify the service history to ensure calendar-based maintenance has been performed, specifically the replacement of brake fluid and coolant, as these fluids degrade chemically over time. During the test drive, listen for any subtle knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, which can wear based on age and road conditions even if they remain structurally sound for an MOT. Finally, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure there is no binding in the calipers, as electric vehicles often experience less brake wear due to regenerative braking, which can ironically lead to increased corrosion from disuse.
