2020 Volkswagen ID3 Life Electricity · EF70 EJO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding consumable components. While the car passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 36,501 miles, the tester flagged both rear tyres as being at the legal limit with 2mm tread remaining. This follows a similar advisory from November 2024 at 25,089 miles, indicating that the owner is delaying tyre replacements until they reach failure thresholds. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 16,566 miles and the November 2024 test at 25,089 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 8,500 miles. The subsequent interval saw 11,412 miles leading to the 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests a predictable usage pattern, which generally reduces the mechanical stress on the electric drivetrain and high-voltage suspension components. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and tyre geometry. The 2024 test noted a fluctuating offside rear service brake, which often indicates warped disc rotors or a sticking caliper. Furthermore, the recurring reports of tyres worn on the edge across both the 2024 and 2025 tests suggest a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The buyer should check for uneven wear patterns on all remaining tyres to ensure the steering geometry is not causing premature degradation of the rubber.
