2021 Volkswagen ID3 Tech Electricity · KC21 FFX

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health as of the most recent MOT on 12 June 2026, where it passed with zero defects at 25,702 miles. The maintenance trend is stable and improving. The only advisory in the entire recorded history was a minor offside rear tyre cut noted in June 2024, which has since been resolved with no recurrence. No corrosion, suspension wear, brake faults, or emissions failures have ever been flagged across three consecutive annual tests. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2021 vehicle. Between the June 2024 test at 16,671 miles and the July 2025 test at 21,977 miles, the car covered 5,306 miles in roughly thirteen months. The subsequent interval from July 2025 to June 2026 added only 3,725 miles over eleven months, indicating a further drop in usage. This sub-5,500-mile annual average suggests predominantly short urban trips or extended periods of inactivity. Low mileage reduces mechanical wear but can introduce its own risks, such as brake disc surface corrosion from light use, DPF soot accumulation from incomplete regeneration cycles, and perished rubber components from age rather than mileage. A buyer should still inspect the underside for surface corrosion on subframes, brake lines, and suspension arms, as short-trip use in winter conditions accelerates salt-related deterioration regardless of mileage. Check the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, particularly the offside rear that previously sustained a cut. Examine the brake discs for lipping and uneven pad wear, which can develop when brakes are underused. The ID3's battery thermal management system and 12-volt auxiliary battery health are also worth verifying, as prolonged standing can degrade both. The MOT record itself, however, shows no structural or mechanical red flags, and the clean June 2026 pass confirms the vehicle meets all current roadworthiness standards.
