2023 Volkswagen Sharan 1.4L Petrol · LX12 GFU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 24 October 2025 with 60,659 miles. While the car suffered a minor failure two days prior due to a failed nearside rear position lamp, the immediate rectification indicates a proactive maintenance approach. The overall history suggests that the current owner is responsive to testing results, addressing defects quickly rather than ignoring emerging mechanical issues. The mileage pattern is characteristically low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,333 miles per annum. The data shows a significant gap of 11,125 miles between September 2024 and October 2025, followed by a very short interval of only 36 miles between two tests. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, such long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and internal corrosion of brake components due to lack of use. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front end suspension, as the September 2024 test at 49,534 miles flagged a worn bush on the nearside front lower suspension arm. Although this did not result in a failure at the time, rubber components on a vehicle of this age and low mileage are prone to dry rot and cracking regardless of distance travelled. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or scoring, as low-use vehicles often suffer in rust accumulation on the rotors if the car sits for extended periods.
