2015 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE1.2L PETROL

The 2015 Volkswagen Beetle has a recent MOT pass from February 2026, showing only minor corrosion in the rear suspension arms, which is not considered a serious safety issue. However, the vehicle’s service history reveals a concerning pattern of recurring brake and tyre wear issues. Brake problems have been consistent since 2024, with both rear brake discs significantly worn and brake pads below legal limits. These issues were flagged as failures in February 2024, and although the vehicle passed the 2025 MOT, the underlying wear remains a significant concern. The brake system should be inspected immediately by a qualified mechanic. Tyre wear has also been a persistent issue, particularly on the rear wheels where wear is concentrated on the inner edges. This pattern suggests possible alignment or suspension misalignment, and the tyres are approaching legal limits. The 2017 tyre markings indicate long-term use without replacement, possibly due to underuse or neglect. The overall trend shows worsening conditions, especially in braking performance and tyre degradation. While the mileage of 81,851 miles is typical for an 11-year-old car, the repeated failures and lack of proactive maintenance suggest either hard usage or extended periods of inactivity.
