2020 Volkswagen ID3 Family Electric · DA55 SAA

The Volkswagen ID3 Family presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 October 2025 at 27,956 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The only anomaly appears on 3 October 2023, where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at 19,706 miles with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or data-entry error rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle. From the 3 October 2023 test at 19,706 miles, the car covered just 1,882 miles to the 19 October 2024 test at 21,588 miles, then 6,368 miles to the October 2025 test at 27,956 miles. This averages roughly 4,659 miles per year. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs, though prolonged standing periods implied by low use warrant a check on battery condition and tyre sidewall cracking. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and coil springs given the car's age and low usage pattern. Standing time can accelerate perishing of rubber components and surface corrosion on structural members even where the MOT shows no advisories. The duplicate 2023 entry with a failure and immediate pass suggests the owner addressed any minor issue promptly or the test centre corrected a logging mistake without delay. No recurring mechanical faults, exhaust emission concerns, or structural integrity warnings appear across the history. The evidence points to a lightly used electric vehicle with disciplined annual testing. Verify the October 2023 anomaly with DVSA if a clean title is required, but the technical record supports a sound purchase subject to standard pre-sale checks.
