2010 Volkswagen Sharan 1.9L Diesel · AF10 TVC

The Volkswagen Sharan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 9 December 2024 at 289,249 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. Across the preceding three annual tests the vehicle also passed cleanly, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns over the observed period. The recorded mileage of 289,249 at the 2024 test reflects an average annual accumulation of roughly 18,078 miles, high for a 2010 model but consistent with steady motorway or fleet-style use rather than neglect. The gap between the 21 December 2023 test at 279,485 miles and the 9 December 2024 test shows 9,764 miles added in twelve months, a slight reduction on prior years yet unremarkable. The only anomaly is the 8 November 2022 failure at 268,510 miles, reversed one week later on 15 November at 268,714 miles with no defects listed on either entry, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive fault. Given the absence of any advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the full record, the Sharan shows no flagged structural or consumable risks in the official data. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the coil springs, subframe, and binding calipers given the 16-year age and high mileage, as MOT passes without advisories do not certify component life remaining. The clean history implies previous owners maintained statutory testing discipline, though the 2022 anomaly warrants confirmation the vehicle was not off-road or under repair. At 289,249 miles the drivetrain and turbocharger should be assessed for wear unseen by MOT scrutiny before purchase.
