2022 Volkswagen ID4 1ST Edition Electric · D12 NTH

The Volkswagen ID4 1st Edition presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 28,327 miles passed with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from 14 January 2025 at 23,239 miles. Two consecutive passes with zero advisories indicate the previous keeper maintained the vehicle to a satisfactory standard for its age. The odometer shows 28,327 miles against a January 2026 test, equating to roughly 7,082 miles per year since the 2022 build. The gap between the two tests covers 5,088 miles, a modest accumulation that reflects light use rather than neglect or heavy commuting. The sparse record carries no failed tests, no advisories, and no flagged wear items across either examination. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. Electric vehicles place distinct loads on brake discs and calipers through regenerative braking, and standing periods can promote surface corrosion on discs and suspension bushes even when the tester records no fault. The ID4 uses a multi-link rear suspension that warrants a check for worn bushes or degraded dampers at this mileage. Verify the battery cooling system and charging port integrity, as these fall outside routine MOT scope. Confirm tyre sidewall condition and tread depth, since the record shows no wear flags but the car is now four years old. The history implies conscientious ownership, yet a pre-purchase inspection remains prudent on any used EV.
