2021 Volkswagen Golf R-Line Etsi S-A 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SB70 CWT

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-04 shows a failure due to the front windscreen washer providing insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a)). This is a minor defect but indicates a potential issue with the washer system’s functionality, which could affect visibility in adverse weather. However, the same date also lists a pass for the same vehicle, creating ambiguity. This inconsistency may reflect a data entry error, but it raises concerns about the reliability of the MOT records. The MOT history reveals a recurring issue with the offside front tyre . In 2025-02-12 and 2024-01-22, the tyre was noted as worn close to the legal limit and badly worn on the edges (5.2.3 (e)). These findings suggest uneven tyre wear, which could stem from improper alignment, suspension issues, or inconsistent driving habits. While the 2026-02-04 MOT does not mention the tyre, the pattern of repeated warnings implies a persistent problem that may not have been fully resolved. The vehicle’s mileage of 25,788 miles over five years (about 5,158 miles per year) is low for its age, which could indicate light use or extended periods of inactivity. Low mileage often correlates with less wear on high-mileage components like brakes and suspension, but it may also mean the vehicle has not been driven enough to prevent issues such as battery degradation, fluid stagnation, or tyre dry rot.
