2021 Volkswagen Golf R-Line TDI 2.0L Diesel · WH71 AVF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent inspection, but the data indicates a worsening trend regarding tyre condition maintenance. While the car passed the December 2025 test at 38,900 miles, the tester identified perishing and cracking on both nearside and offside rear tyres. This suggests the rubber is degrading due to age or environmental exposure rather than tread wear, despite the relatively low overall mileage. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles annually. the December 2024 test at 27,893 miles and the December 2025 test at 38,900 miles, the car covered 11,007 miles. This specific interval shows a higher rate of use than the annual average, which explains the accelerated wear on consumables like the front tyre that reached the legal limit limit in the previous year. A buyer must physically inspect the wheel alignment and suspension components, as the December 2024 advisory noted the nearside front tyre was worn on the edge. Such uneven wear often points to tracking issues or worn suspension bushes and deteriorated control arm bushings. Given the recent failure for sidewall cracking, a full set of new tyres is likely required to ensure the structural integrity of the rubber is not compromised for high-speed driving.
