Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence, but ensure a re
When viewing this Sharan, check the current tread depth on all four tyres. The 2025 MOT failure specifically noted significant wear on the nearside front, offside front, and a critical failure on the offside rear where cords were exposed. Even though the 2026 MOT passed with no defects, you should verify if a full set of tyres was fitted following that failure.
As this is a 2.0L diesel model, ask for evidence of regular oil changes and service intervals. Given the mileage is approaching 50,000 miles, check if any major scheduled maintenance, such as cambelt or water pump inspections (if applicable to this specific engine variant), are due in the near future. Always verify the service book against the mileage recorded in the MOT history.
The 1968cc diesel engine is typically suited for longer motorway journeys, offering reasonable fuel economy for a large MPV. Being a Euro 6 compliant vehicle, it is currently compliant with most UK Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ).
Annual running costs will be influenced by the insurance group and tax band, which vary based on specific trim levels. Maintenance costs for Volkswagen models tend to be higher than budget brands, particularly regarding tyre replacements and diesel engine components. Expect an estimated annual running cost to fall within the mid-range for a vehicle of this size and engine capacity.
Focus your physical inspection on the tyres and wheels. The 2025 MOT failure (39,400 miles) was entirely tyre-related, involving worn edges and exposed cords. Check for uneven tread wear, which could indicate alignment issues or suspension wear.
Additionally, inspect the brake components and suspension. While no defects were recorded in the 2026 MOT, the previous tyre issues can sometimes be symptoms of underlying geometry problems. Ensure there are no visible leaks under the vehicle and that the diesel engine starts smoothly without excessive smoke.
This 2019 blue Volkswagen Sharan features a 1968cc diesel engine and has covered 47,773 miles as of its most recent MOT in August 2026. The vehicle has a consistent testing history, with only one recorded MOT failure in 2025 related to tyre wear. Overall, the mileage is consistent with its age and the recent passing of its MOT suggests the vehicle is currently meeting minimum safety standards.
