2020 Volkswagen Golf Match Edition TSI EVO 1.5L Petrol · RE20 MYK

The vehicle currently stands in good roadworthiness, but the 2026-06-05 MOT result indicates a significant deterioration in suspension and braking components. This is the most recent test, and while the 2025-06-23 result was also passed, the tightening of the rear brake pads and the nearside inner road wheel distortion suggests a progressive wear trend that has not been corrected. The 2026-06-05 test at 46,076 miles revealed thin brake pads and a distorted nearside inner road wheel, which are serious mechanical risks that require immediate attention before the vehicle can be driven again. The mileage pattern shows a clear gap between the 2023-06-26 and 2024-06-18 inspections, with the 2024-06-18 test occurring only 100 days after the 2023-06-26 inspection. This short interval suggests that the owner may have been neglecting routine maintenance, particularly regarding suspension bushings and brake pads, which are prone to failure within a year of a previous failed test. The rapid accumulation of miles since the 2024-06-18 result indicates that the vehicle has likely accumulated more than 1,000 miles since that last check, meaning the wear on suspension and brakes has been substantial. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity of the chassis and suspension, specifically looking for rust on suspension bushes or coil springs, and verify that the brake discs are not corroded. Given the worsening trend of thin brake pads and the distorted wheel, the vehicle is not suitable for normal driving and must be tested by a professional to assess the condition of the suspension and brakes before any purchase is made.
