2019 Volkswagen Sharan 1.4L Petrol · LL68 YAW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in attention to basic consumables. The most recent test on 14 June 2025 at 16,385 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for headlamp aim and front tyre condition. While the vehicle passed the retest, the presence of a nail in the tyre and tread reaching the legal limit suggests that pre-trip inspections were neglected prior to the annual test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,340 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap in usage between the November 2023 test at 4,579 miles and the June 2025 test, where the car covered over 11,000 miles in a relatively short window compared to previous years. This low-frequency usage pattern often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, seals, and potential brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension and steering geometry, as the June 2025 failure noted uneven wear on the front tyres which often indicates an alignment issue or worn bushes. The recurring headlamp aim failures across both 2024 and 2025 suggest the mounting brackets may be loose or the adjustment is not holding securely. Given the low mileage, verify the brake discs for pitting or surface rust and check the tyres for sidewall cracking, as age-related perish rot frequently affects vehicles with low constant use.
