2021 Volkswagen Golf R TSI 4MOTION S-A 2.0L Petrol · ML21 TMU

The vehicle presents a high roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 32,152 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, mirroring the results of the previous two years. This trend indicates a stable maintenance regime where the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle to avoid any major mechanical or structural failures at the testing stage. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between the February 2024 test at 15,633 miles and the January 2025 test at 23,840 miles, the car covered 8,207 miles, while the subsequent interval saw 8,312 miles covered prior to the February 2026 test. This low annual mileage suggests that wear on the 4MOTION drivetrain and braking components is likely minimal compared to high-mileage performance examples. While the MOT records show no recurring faults regarding suspension bushes or brake calipers, a physical inspection should focus on the specific requirements of a high-performance Golf R. A buyer should verify the condition of the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues, and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion given the low mileage and potential for standing. Given the age of the vehicle, checking rubber components in the suspension for cracking remains prudent, as these can degrade over time regardless of the distance driven.
