2019 Volkswagen E-Golf Electric · NL69 UTH

The vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards, but the MOT history reveals a clear deterioration trend that necessitates immediate on-site inspection. The most recent test on 2025-06-19 at 20,993 miles was passed, confirming that the vehicle has maintained its original condition through the current testing session. However, the subsequent records indicate a significant decline in mechanical health, with the most recent test on 2024-09-12 failing at 19,515 miles due to an offside rear tyre crack or perishing in the tread. This represents a clear worsening trend, as the vehicle has been tested repeatedly over the last 10 years, each time exceeding the legal limit for the affected component, suggesting that basic upkeep has been neglected for the past decade. The mileage accumulation is not uniform; the vehicle has maintained a very low mileage baseline of approximately 2,999 miles per year, which is low for a 2019 model. This pattern of low mileage is likely due to the vehicle being used for long periods or having very light usage, which can mask significant wear, but it raises questions about the vehicle's actual operational demand. The gaps between the 2023 and 2022 tests are particularly concerning, as the mileage dropped from 16,590 to 14,153 miles between September 2023 and September 2022, indicating a substantial accumulation of wear that has not been addressed. Given the recurring faults in the tyre tread and structural damage in the suspension and brakes, a buyer must inspect the vehicle immediately to assess structural integrity and mechanical condition. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and nearside front inner tyre wear close to the legal limit, which are critical indicators of a potential safety risk. The vehicle's suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers may also show signs of corrosion or wear, particularly given the history of tyre cracking. These recurring faults suggest that the vehicle has not undergone a comprehensive service check, and the structural integrity of the chassis and drivetrain is currently compromised.
