2020 Volkswagen ID3 1ST Edition Electric · ND70 AEM

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a failed test in November 2025. While the most recent result shows a pass, the maintenance trend shows a sudden decline in consumable upkeep. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to multiple tyre defects in late 2025 suggests a lapse in routine maintenance or a period of neglect regarding tyre management. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The car travelled 15,154 miles between October 2023 and November 2024, and a further 17,020 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This averages approximately 16,000 miles per year, which is slightly higher than the 10,420-mile annual average calculated from the total distance, but remains within a standard operating range for a daily driver. A prospective buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the tyre condition and wheel alignment. The November 2025 failure specifically flagged the offside front tyre for having ply or cords exposed, alongside several other tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. The presence of edge wear across three different tyres often indicates an underlying suspension or tracking issue, such as worn bushes or incorrect camber, rather than simple tread depletion. Beyond the tyres, the lack of recorded defects in the 2023 and 2024 tests suggests the mechanical and structural integrity of the vehicle has been stable. However, the sudden appearance of multiple tyre faults necessitates a close check of the suspension components and steering geometry to ensure the recent repairs have addressed the root cause of the uneven wear.
