2020 Volkswagen Golf Match Edition TSI EVO 1.5L Petrol · PK69 XAV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on 17 January 2026 at 86,274 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable following a minor failure in early 2024, with no further defects recorded across the last three annual inspections. This suggests that previous issues were addressed immediately and that the vehicle is currently meeting all minimum safety standards. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,400 miles per annum. There is a significant spike in usage between the tests in January 2023 (56,548 miles) and January 2024 (78,197 miles), where the car covered over 21,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has remained more consistent, with roughly 8,000 miles between the last three tests. This high annual mileage typically accelerates accelerated wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to lower-mileage examples. The failure on 3 January 2024 was limited solely to tyre condition, with both the nearside and offside front tyres being at the legal limit and the offside tyre suffering a structural sidewall cut. While this was a consumable issue, the uneven wear on the edges of the tyres suggests potential alignment problems or worn suspension components that should be verified. Given the high mileage, a buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the brake discs for thinning or pitting and check the suspension geometry for play, as these components are nearing the end of their typical service life at 86,000 miles.
