Our Verdict
We recommend this vehicle for purchase,
When viewing the car, ask for any available service records, especially those covering the battery and charging system, as the MOT data does not capture battery health. Verify that the vehicle has been kept within the recommended charging regime for the ID4 to avoid premature capacity loss. Check that the MOT certificate includes the full test details and that the mileage recorded matches the odometer reading.
Negotiate on the price by referencing the vehicle's mileage of 16,605 miles, which is lower than the expected ~35,000 miles for a 2022 model based on the average annual mileage of 10,425 miles. This lower usage can be a point for a modest discount. Also consider the lack of multiple MOT records; you may wish to factor in a potential future MOT cost.
Be aware of common failure areas for the ID4 model, such as tyre wear, headlamp issues, and shock absorbers, even though none have appeared in this car's MOT history. A visual inspection of tyres for tread depth, headlamp lenses for clarity, and suspension components for wear will help confirm the vehicle's condition.
The ID4 Life is an electric vehicle, so fuel costs are replaced by electricity. Based on typical UK electricity rates, annual charging costs for a vehicle of this size are around £300‑£400. Road tax for electric cars is currently £0, and the insurance group for the ID4 places it in the mid‑range, roughly £600‑£800 per year.
Maintenance for electric vehicles is generally lower than for ICE cars, but periodic checks on brakes, tyres, and the high‑voltage battery are required. Expect typical annual maintenance to be in the region of £150‑£250. Combining electricity, insurance, tax, and maintenance gives an estimated annual running cost of £800‑£1,000.
Inspect the tyre condition closely, as tyre failures are the most common MOT issue for the ID4 model. Check tread depth, sidewall integrity, and look for uneven wear that could indicate alignment problems.
Examine the headlamps for clarity and proper operation, since headlamp failures are a frequent MOT cause. Verify that both low and high beams illuminate correctly and that the lenses are free from cracks or moisture.
Review the suspension, particularly the shock absorbers, which rank among the top failure reasons for the model. Push down on each corner of the car to assess rebound and listen for any unusual noises. Look for oil leaks around the shock mounts and ensure the ride feels stable.
The 2022 Volkswagen ID4 Life (registration LF72SFV) has a single MOT test in February 2026 which it passed with no recorded defects at 16,605 miles. Its mileage is well below the model's average annual mileage of 10,425 miles, indicating light use. The ID4 enjoys a model-wide MOT pass rate of 90.3%, and this vehicle aligns with that trend. Overall, the car presents a low‑risk proposition but limited MOT history means further checks are advisable.
The Volkswagen ID4 enjoys a high overall MOT pass rate of 90.3%, indicating generally reliable performance across the model range.
