2015 Volkswagen Sharan 2.0L Diesel · LF65 WBT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in November 2025 at 75,134 miles passed with only a minor cosmetic defect regarding a damaged offside rear reflector. This represents an improvement from the August 2024 test where the car initially failed due to critical tyre wear, suggesting that the current owner is addressing immediate safety failures once they are flagged. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old MPV, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per annum, which sits within the typical range for a vehicle of this age. However, there is a significant spike in usage recorded between September 2023 and November 2024, where the vehicle covered over 16,000 miles in just eleven months. This period of heavy use explains the rapid wear observed on the front tyres during the August 2024 inspection, where the tester found inner edge tread depths below the legal limit. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the front suspension and alignment during a physical evaluation. The 2024 failure specifically noted tyres worn on the edge, which often points to worn suspension bushes, failing ball joints, or incorrect camber rather than simple mileage wear. Additionally, the 2023 advisory regarding perishing and cracking tyres suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods between services, necessitating a close check of sidewall rot and aged rubber components across the chassis that are not covered by standard MOT tests.
