2019 Volkswagen E-Golf Electric · NA69 FBD

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness record with no outright failures, but the most recent MOT on 14 October 2025 at 62,107 miles shows a clear and repeating tyre degradation issue. The car passed all four annual tests cleanly through 2022 and 2023 without any defects. The 2024 test introduced advisories for slight damage or perishing on all four tyres. The 2025 test reduced those advisories to just the front pair, which suggests the owner replaced the rear tyres but not the fronts. That pattern indicates an improving yet incomplete maintenance approach, with the front tyres now carrying the same fault for over a year. Mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a seven-year-old car. The recorded year-over-year jumps run from 28,554 miles in October 2022 to 40,447 miles in October 2023, then 51,030 miles in October 2024, and finally 62,107 miles in October 2025. That averages approximately 8,900 miles per year, with each annual interval showing between 10,500 and 11,900 miles of use. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the data, and the progression reflects steady daily driving rather than extended periods of standing idle. A buyer should focus an in-person inspection on the condition of the front tyres. The DVSA tester specifically cited cracking or perishing on both front tyres in the most recent test, and evidence of similar cracking on all four tyres a year earlier points to environmental exposure, not simply tread wear. Rear tyres appear to have been changed since the 2024 test, but the front pair may now be close to requiring replacement. No structural corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake binding, or other mechanical faults have ever been flagged across the entire MOT history, which is a strong indicator of generally sound chassis and running gear. The electric powertrain itself carries no exhaust or emission concerns, so the core items to verify are tyre age and sidewall integrity, plus the usual consumable checks on brake discs and pads given the mileage.
