2010 Volkswagen Beetle 1.4L Petrol · CE60 EXT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes recently. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 73,660 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This follows a three-year streak of clean results since a failure in early 2023, suggesting that once initial mechanical issues were addressed, the owner has maintained the car to a high standard of compliance. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time, such as the 6,915 miles driven between February 2024 and 2025, and another 6,331 miles in the following year. This low mileage typically indicates less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of stationary use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals which are not always captured by a roller-based test. Despite the clean MOT records, a buyer should perform a physical inspection focusing on common low-mileage age issues. Examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyres, which can perish and crack regardless of distance driven. Check the brake discs for corrosion and binding calipers, as these often seize when vehicles sit for extended periods. Given the vehicle's age, a close look at the structural integrity of sills and wing arches is essential to ensure that hidden rust has not compromised the chassis.
