2022 Volkswagen Golf GTE S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · RJ72 KPO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on March 11, 2026 at 29,662 miles shows a pass following a failure just the previous day. While the washer fluid issue was rectified immediately, the persistence of pitting and scoring on the rear brake discs suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical defects once they reach an MOT failure threshold. The recorded mileage of 29,662 miles over four years averages to approximately 7,416 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent with typical annual mileage for a hybrid vehicle. There is a significant mileage gap between the November 2025 test at 27,954 miles and the March 2026 test, representing only 1,708 miles covered in four months. This low rate of use can contribute to brake disc corrosion and surface rust if the vehicle is not driven regularly. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the braking system and wheel assembly. The November 2025 advisory flagged three tyres as being near the legal limit, with the front tyres showing uneven wear on the edge which often points to incorrect alignment or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the tester noted a distorted nearside rear wheel, necessitating a check for lateral run or impact damage. The recurring issue with the rear discs should be verified for thickness and surface integrity to ensure the pitting has not compromised the structural soundness of the component.
