2012 Volkswagen Sharan 1.6L Petrol · LF12 KMU

The current roadworthiness status of this Volkswagen Sharan is excellent, reflecting a stable and well-maintained condition. The most recent MOT test conducted on 13 May 2025 at 81,221 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This outcome aligns with the previous two annual inspections, confirming a consistent trend of mechanical reliability and diligent upkeep over the last three years. The vehicle has covered a total of 81,221 miles over its 14-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile suggests the vehicle has seen light usage, though the minimal distance of only 10 miles recorded between the April 2024 and May 2025 tests indicates the car spent significant periods stationary. While low mileage often preserves drivetrain components, it can sometimes lead to issues with seized brake calipers or perished rubber components if the vehicle is not exercised regularly. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically deteriorate during periods of inactivity. Although the MOT history is clean, check the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as these are common symptoms of long-term storage. Inspect the suspension bushes and gaiters for signs of cracking or perishing, as rubber compounds degrade over time regardless of mileage. Verify that the engine starts cleanly from cold and that there are no signs of heavy fluid leaks, which can occasionally develop if a vehicle remains parked for extended durations.
