VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE DESIGN TSI BMT S-A2016 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of consistent maintenance. The most recent MOT test conducted on 22 November 2025 at 72,114 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in late October 2024, the vehicle was rectified and passed the re-test just eight days later, suggesting that the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified mechanical or environmental faults. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a decade old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per annum. Between the August 2022 test at 49,454 miles and the November 2025 test at 72,114 miles, the vehicle covered 22,660 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is often beneficial for the preservation of seals and braking components. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest the vehicle was left off the road for extended periods without oversight. Given the clean records from the most recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear and tear components associated with this mileage bracket. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these are common points of fatigue on the Volkswagen chassis. Although the MOT record shows no historical structural corrosion or recurring brake issues, checking the brake discs for uneven wear and inspecting the thickness of the remaining pads remains advisable to ensure no binding has developed since the last official inspection.
