2012 Volkswagen Beetle 1.4L Petrol · CU62 CZE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in February 2026 at 88,736 miles. This test recorded no defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and environmental standards. While a failure was noted in late February 2025 at 86,318 miles, the subsequent pass just one month later at a higher mileage suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified issues rather than allowing mechanical defs to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 80,024 miles and March 2024 at 85,482 miles, the car covered over 5,000 miles. A more recent period of usage occurred between March 2025 and February 2026, where the vehicle travelled 2,365 miles. This low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components and braking systems, though it increases the risk of rubber-based degradation and fluid breakdown during long stationary periods. Given the clean nature of the last several tests, the physical inspection should focus on age-related wear that an MOT does not always capture. A buyer should examine the underside for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans, which are common areas for vehicles of this era. Because the mileage is low, it is also vital to check for perished rubber in suspension bushes and split tyres, as these components degrade over time regardless of the distance driven. Testing the brake discs for pitting or rust will confirm if the low-frequency use has resulted in significant surface oxidation on the braking hardware.
