Golf GTI Edition 35 UK MOT 2024 - 2025 : 68k miles total : 4326 miles between MOT's

 very similar post to the last service related one 
https://johnoldfield.blogspot.com/2025/07/golf-gti-edition-35-service-2024-2025.html

but this time its the mandatory UK yearly MOT test.

Heres the output from Vehicle Smart app I use to track these things.

So last year between MOT's the car has done 4326 miles




car passed with usual advisories for rear brake disc condition, and this time front discs as well.
and they also picked up on a nail in the rear tyre, which Ive just had a repair attempted on, both year tyres are getting on a bit, so maybe need replacing soon.
(rear tyres on golfs tend to never wear out , they just get old/cracked/sawtooth pattern)

rear tyres were new in 2020 at 48k miles , so tyres have done 5yrs and 20,000 miles so far see https://johnoldfield.blogspot.com/2020/08/golf-gti-edition-35-mot-48232-miles-and.html
