2019 Volkswagen Sharan 2.0L Diesel · CK69 TMX

The Volkswagen Sharan’s most recent MOT test on 2026-02-12 at 281,750 miles confirms it passed without defects, maintaining a clean record across all five tests since 2024. There is no evidence of recurring failures or advisories, suggesting the vehicle has been consistently roadworthy under inspection. The absence of major defects—such as suspension damage, structural corrosion, or binding brakes—implies the tester did not identify any critical issues requiring immediate attention. However, the lack of advisories or minor faults in the latest test also means no pre-existing concerns were flagged for proactive replacement or servicing. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 40,250 miles annually, which is elevated for a vehicle of this age. Notably, there is a 14-day gap between the two May 2024 tests at the same mileage (211,821 miles), likely due to a retest after an initial failure—though no defects were recorded in either instance. This pattern suggests the vehicle was driven consistently without prolonged periods of inactivity, which could accelerate wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. The most recent test occurred just five months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle with this mileage; a pre-purchase inspection would be prudent to verify the condition of components not routinely checked in an MOT. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, though not failed, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the lack of advisories does not guarantee they have been serviced within the recommended intervals. Exhaust emissions and catalytic converter efficiency should also be verified, as these are not visually inspectable in an MOT but can degrade silently. Finally, a thorough check for corrosion—especially in wheel arches, sills, and underbody—is essential, as structural integrity deteriorates more rapidly in high-mileage vehicles exposed to UK road conditions.
