2019 VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON1.5L PETROL

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 March 2026 at 74,445 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows improvement following a significant failure in April 2025. While the vehicle previously required mechanical and consumable requiring attention, the clean sheet from the latest test indicates that the owner addressed the identified faults to bring the car back to standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with 12,875 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 11,622 miles between March 2024 and April 2025. This regular accumulation suggests consistent highway use rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits the mechanical health of rubber components and engine seals. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the rear suspension during a physical viewing. The April 2025 failure noted a serious fluid leak on the nearside rear shock absorber, and while this was repaired, a visual check can ensure no secondary leaks have developed on the opposite side. Additionally, the 2023 record flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs. Although the car passed since, the buyer should verify the remaining thickness and surface condition of the rear discs and pads to ensure they have not reached the end of their service life. The tyre history also warrants a look at wear patterns. The 2025 failure was due to an offside rear tyre being worn on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or a worn suspension bushing. Verify that the current tyres show even wear across the tread to confirm the cause of the previous uneven wear was properly rectified and not a recurring mechanical fault.
