2012 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · OV62 JNJ

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-29 recorded two brake-related issues: both nearside and offside front inner brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. These defects fall under the same category (1.1.14 (a) (ii)), indicating consistent wear patterns on critical braking components. The 2024-08-23 MOT noted a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and a nail in the tyre, which were likely addressed before the 2025 test. No other defects were recorded in the 2023 MOT, suggesting a period of stability. The recurring mechanical pattern centers on brake disc wear and tyre condition. Brake discs are a high-priority safety concern, as their degradation can compromise stopping power. The 2025 findings imply that wear has progressed since the 2023 test, though no severe damage was reported. Tyre issues in 2024 were resolved by 2025, but the brake disc defects indicate a potential trend of increasing wear on braking systems. The absence of major defects in earlier MOTs (2022–2023) suggests the vehicle was previously well-maintained, but recent findings highlight emerging risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 94,114 miles over 14 years equates to roughly 6,722 miles per year, which is typical for its age.
