2019 Volkswagen E-Golf Electricity · VE69 SJO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding component wear and deferred attention. The most recent test in November 2025 at 142,037 miles flagged significant inner-edge wear on both the offside front and offside rear inner tyres. This mirrors an advisory from December 2023 at 52,369 miles, suggesting a persistent alignment or suspension issue that has gone unaddressed. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging over 20,000 miles per year. There is a dramatic surge in usage between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests, where the car covered 45,556 miles in a single year. This indicates heavy long-distance use or potential commercial application. Such rapid accumulation puts immense stress on the electric drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking, which explains the frequent appearance of wear-related faults. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry to address the recurring uneven tyre wear. The December 2024 test noted oil misting on all four shock absorbers, and while not a failure at the time, the high mileage since then suggests these units may be nearing the end of their life. Inspect the brake discs for thinning and uneven scoring, as the high-frequency use often accelerates the degradation of these components compared to average-use vehicles.
