2021 Volkswagen ID4 1ST Edition Electric · LL21 FLF

A consistent record of clean passes over the last three testing cycles defines this vehicle's roadworthiness, though the most recent inspection on 03 March 2026 introduced the first advisory regarding tyre wear. This indicates a stable testing history with no recorded failures or structural defects since its initial registration, suggesting that the primary components subject to MOT scrutiny have met minimum legal standards without intervention. The transition from a defect-free record in 2024 and 2025 to a tyre-related advisory in 2026 marks the first recorded instance of consumable wear reaching a threshold requiring attention. The vehicle has covered 43,637 miles over approximately five years, which equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 8,727 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK driving profiles and does not indicate extreme high-mileage wear or the potential mechanical deterioration often associated with long periods of vehicle inactivity. From a mechanical standpoint, this steady mileage suggests that components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements have been subjected to regular, predictable operational cycles rather than the stresses of heavy commercial use or the stagnation of infrequent use. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the nearside front tyre, which was flagged on 03 March 2026 as being worn close to the legal limit and specifically worn on the edge. This edge wear is a significant indicator that requires physical investigation during a test drive. You should check for any pulling to one side when the steering wheel is held straight on a level road, which could indicate an alignment issue or camber fault. Additionally, listen for any rhythmic thumping or humming noises coming from the front end, which may suggest uneven tread wear or internal tyre damage resulting from the uneven contact pattern. Beyond the tyre advisory, the lack of previous defects means there are no recorded issues with brake lines, suspension linkages, or structural corrosion to address. However, given the specific mention of edge wear, a thorough inspection of the front suspension components, including the control arms and tie rod ends, is advisable to ensure that the tyre wear is not being caused by mechanical play or incorrect geometry. During the test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and any vibrations felt through the steering wheel at varying speeds to confirm that the wheel tracking is within specification.
