2010 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · PE60 GDA

The most recent MOT from August 2025 shows that while the vehicle passed, it has several advisories regarding wear. The report highlights that all four brake discs are worn, pitted, or scored, both front tyres are worn close to the legal limit, and the rear wiper is missing. There is a clear and worsening pattern regarding the braking system. Since 2023, the MOT history has consistently flagged issues with brake disc surfaces, progressing from a single rear disc in 2023 to all four discs being noted in the most recent test. The vehicle has covered 49,452 miles in approximately 16 years, which is very low for its age, averaging roughly 3,091 miles per year. This low mileage suggests the car may have been used infrequently or has spent long periods stationary. This pattern of low usage is consistent with the reported pitting and scoring on the brake discs, which often results from a lack of regular use. When inspecting the vehicle in person, you should first check the condition of the brake discs and pads to see how much life is actually left in them. You should also check the tread depth on all tyres and ensure the rear wiper is fitted and working.
