2013 Volkswagen Beetle 2.0L Diesel · JH63 APR

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, passing its most recent inspection in October 2025 at 62,015 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as evidenced by a history of clean passes over the last several years. While a minor failure occurred in 2023 regarding a non-functional rear fog lamp, this was rectified immediately with a pass recorded the following day. This suggests the owner is responsive to MOT testing requirements rather than allowing mechanical or electrical defects to accumulate. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,770 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage over time, such as the 4,148 miles driven between October 2024 and October 2025. This low-frequency usage typically places less mechanical stress on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components, such as seals, bushes, and tyres, if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front tyres, as the October 2025 test flagged both the offside and nearside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and unevenly. This specific wear pattern indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require attention to prevent further scrubbing. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, check for dry cracking in the tyre sidewalls and corrosion on the chassis, as these are common issues for low-mileage cars regardless of distance driven.
