2021 Volkswagen ID3 Life Electric · LB71 AEN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 21 November 2025 at 18,901 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health indicates the car is meeting all minimum legal requirements for safety and emissions. The mileage is notably low for a five year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,780 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 14,970 miles and the November 2025 test at 18,901 miles, the car covered only 3,931 miles. This pattern suggests light urban use or significant periods of inactivity, which typically preserves the interior and drivetrain but can introduce specific risks. A buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. The absence of MOT advisories is positive, but low-use electric vehicles often suffer from brake disc corrosion or binding calipers due to regenerative braking reducing mechanical friction. Check the brake pedal feel and inspect the discs for surface rust. Verify the health of the 12V starter battery and the main traction battery's state of charge, as long periods of standing can lead to premature cell degradation. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for flat spots or age-related cracking, as the low annual mileage means the rubber may perish before the tread wears down.
