Our Verdict
A solid prospect for those seeking a modern diesel hatchback. The clean MOT history and relatively recent registration make this a low-risk option for typical motorway commuters.
When viewing this vehicle, verify the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has received regular oil changes, which is critical for turbocharger longevity. Since the last MOT was in September 2025 with no defects, check if the vehicle has had any recent servicing or if the next service is due soon.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at 48,128 miles, it has covered a fair amount of ground for a five-year-old car. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are common wear items that may be approaching replacement intervals given the mileage recorded.
As a 1968cc diesel, this Golf is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys. You can expect competitive fuel economy, though real-world figures will depend on driving style and load.
Tax and insurance will vary depending on the specific insurance group and local council rates, but the 2.0 TDI engine typically falls into a moderate bracket. Maintenance costs for Volkswagen components are generally predictable, though specialist diesel parts can be more expensive than petrol equivalents.
Focus your inspection on the diesel engine components. While the MOT history shows no defects in 2024 or 2025, you should listen for any unusual noises from the timing belt area or turbocharger during a test drive.
Check the underside for any signs of fluid leaks, as the MOT history does not provide details on minor seepage that might not yet reach a failure threshold. Ensure all electronic systems within the 'Style' trim are functioning correctly, as these are common points of interest in modern Volkswagens.
This 2021 Volkswagen Golf Style TDI S-A is a grey diesel model with 48,128 miles recorded at its most recent MOT in September 2025. The vehicle has a clean MOT record with no defects reported in its last two tests. Given its age and mileage, it appears to be a well-used but compliant example of the 2.0L TDI range.
