2017 Volkswagen Beetle 1.4L Petrol · KT66 DNJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 January 2026 at 28,969 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating the car remains in a good mechanical state. This follows a clean pass in 2024 and 2023, suggesting that the vehicle has been consistently maintained and has not suffered from significant recurring mechanical degradation over the last several years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,200 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the car covered only 3,886 miles, which confirms a history of very light use. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the single failure on 13 January 2025 at 27,807 miles—immediately followed by a pass the next day—suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly, likely a simple light bulb replacement or a minor sensor-related adjustment. Given the low mileage and long age, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for issues associated with long-term standing. Check rubber components such as suspension bushes, tyre boots, and wipers for cracking or dry rot from age rather than use. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized calipers. Ensure the brake fluid has been changed recently, as it absorbs moisture over time regardless of how many miles the car has travelled.
