2008 Volkswagen Sharan 1.9L Diesel · AF08 KEH

The 2008 Volkswagen Sharan shows a passed MOT from 3 January 2023 at 200,375 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it legally roadworthy at that date. The maintenance trend across the available history is sparse but stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any test. Records stop over three years before today's date of 8 July 2026, so current condition is unverified by MOT data. Mileage sits at 200,375 on the most recent test, against 199,801 at the 28 May 2021 failure and 199,806 at the 7 June 2021 pass. That is only 569 miles added across roughly nineteen months, then zero movement between June 2021 and January 2023. Average use works out near 11,100 miles per year over the car's life, but the record shows the vehicle effectively stood idle for its final logged period. Such stagnation often lets brake calipers seize, tyres crack, and suspension bushes perish through lack of movement. The Sharan failed twice on dates close together, 28 May 2021 and 3 January 2023, yet the DVSA entries list no defects for either failure. A blank defect field on a failure suggests an administrative or presentational error at the testing station rather than a clean mechanical bill. Buyers should treat the pass as valid but untrustworthy without the original failure reasons. In person, a buyer must check structural corrosion on sills and subframes, test front suspension arms and rear coil springs for perished bushes, and confirm brake discs are not corroded or binding after the long lay-up. Verify the true odometer reading, since the mileage has not changed between two 2023 entries logged on the same day.
