2021 Volkswagen ID3 Life Electric · HK70 AEW

The 2021 Volkswagen ID3 LIFE is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 January 2026 at 57,750 miles. The test recorded a minor front brake disc condition – worn, pitted and scored on both inner faces, though not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii)). No other defects were noted. The maintenance trend is stable; the vehicle showed no faults in 2025 and 2024, and the only issue appears now, indicating a new wear item rather than a progressive deterioration. Mileage accumulation aligns with the typical usage pattern for a five‑year‑old electric hatchback. Between January 2024 (34,447 miles) and January 2025 (45,517 miles) the vehicle gained 11,070 miles, and the year to the latest test added 12,233 miles, averaging roughly 11,500 miles per annum. The annual MOT intervals are consistent, suggesting regular servicing and compliance. The data set is sparse beyond the three tests, but the steady mileage rise reflects normal wear rather than abrupt jumps. For a prospective buyer, the most critical items to inspect are the braking system, particularly the front brake discs identified as slightly pitted. A visual check for scoring, uneven wear and corrosion will confirm whether the discs require resurfacing or replacement. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for excessive play or corrosion, as high mileage can affect ride comfort. Finally, a thorough under‑body scan for rust or structural damage will ensure long‑term integrity, given the vehicle’s age and mileage.
