2018 Volkswagen Arteon 2.0L Petrol · KA54 NJY

The 2026‑07‑27 MOT at 23,667 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance record shows a stable trend, as tyre wear noted in 2025 and 2024 re‑appears but no new mechanical failures have emerged since the 2022 test. Mileage has risen from 18,184 miles in July 2021 to 23,667 miles in July 2026, an average increase of roughly 1,500 miles per year. The increments are modest and consistent, with the largest jump of 2,396 miles occurring between 2021 and 2022; subsequent years show smaller annual gains, indicating regular, light use rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore examine tyre condition closely, checking tread depth and edge wear on both front and rear positions, and inspect the rear tyres for perishing or cracking indicated by the 5.2.3 (d) (ii) notes. Suspension components such as bushes and coil springs, as well as brake discs and calipers, merit visual and functional checks, especially given the inner‑edge tyre wear that may signal alignment or binding issues. Finally, the structural integrity of the wheel arches and chassis should be assessed for corrosion, which can accompany the observed tyre deterioration.
