VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE2016 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on October 23, 2025 at 37,664 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This follows a string of clean passes over the previous three years, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained without significant mechanical or structural failures being flagged by the testing equipment. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,766 miles annually. Between October 2022 and October 2024, the car covered 14,365 miles, while the most recent year saw an increase of only 5,719 miles. This consistent low usage suggests short trips or long periods of inactivity, which poses specific risks to rubber-based components. The only recorded issue occurred in November 2021 at 11,092 miles, where the tester flagged perishing on nearside and offside tyres, a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles where the rubber hardens before the tread wears down. A buyer should focus specifically on the physical condition of the tyres during inspection, as the history indicates a tendency for perishing despite low tread wear. Given the low annual mileage, it is essential to inspect the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers which often occur when a vehicle sits stationary. While the MOT record shows no structural rust or suspension failures, the lack of use necessitates a thorough check of fluid levels and rubber hoses to ensure they have not degraded through age rather than mileage.
