2013 Volkswagen Beetle 2.0L Diesel · DF62 TWG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in July 2025 at 119,839 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair, evidenced by a failure just nine days prior to that successful test at 119,560 miles. That failure identified an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm bush and a worn offside equivalent, alongside an inoperative rear fog lamp. The subsequent pass indicates the owner addressed these specific mechanical faults immediately following the initial failure. At 119,839 miles over 13 years, the Beetle averages approximately 9,218 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for its age. The record shows a consistent annual testing interval, occurring roughly every August or July between 2022 and 2025. There is a notable accumulation of 8,537 miles between August 2024 and July 2025 tests, suggesting the vehicle is in regular, active use rather than sitting for long periods of stationary. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension during a physical evaluation, as the 2025 failure confirms that the arm bushes are prone to wear on this vehicle. While the 2023 test at 102,287 miles flagged thin front pads and pitted discs on all corners, these are standard consumable items that should have been replaced. The current buyer must verify the condition of the brake components to ensure no further degradation has occurred since the previous service. The absence of structural corrosion or rust advisories in the history suggests the chassis remains sound despite the high-mileage status.
