2019 Volkswagen California 2.0L Diesel · VG55 NAN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent test on 13 August 2025 at 22,940 miles, where it passed with no recorded defects. While the history shows two instances of failure on the day of previous tests, the subsequent passes without advisories suggest any issues were rectified prior to retesting. The current trend indicates the vehicle is being maintained to a functional standard, despite the intermittent testing setbacks. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,277 miles per year. Between August 2023 at 12,957 miles and August 2024 at 18,788 miles, the car covered 5,831 miles. This consistent low-frequency use suggests minimal wear on mechanical components like the engine, drivetrain, and brake friction surfaces. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and seals, and potential flat-spotting tyres. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2023 and 2025, as the record does not detail the exact defects. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check for brake corrosion on the discs and calipers, which often occurs when a vehicle sits for long periods. Inspect the chassis for early signs of rust and verify that the tyres are not showing signs of age or cracking despite having significant tread depth.
