2022 Volkswagen ID3 Family Electric · NA72 FTV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a clean pass during the test on 2026-04-27 at 35,880 miles. This result confirms the car meets the minimum legal standards for road use without any reported faults or advisory notices. The previous test on 2025-09-24 also returned a pass with no defects recorded at 35,675 miles. The absence of recurring issues across these two consecutive inspections suggests the maintenance history remains stable rather than deteriorating. Recorded mileage stands at 35,880 miles against an age of approximately four years as of mid-2026. This figure represents an average annual distance of roughly 8,970 miles per year, aligning with typical usage patterns for this class of electric family vehicle. The gap between the September 2025 test and the April 2026 test shows a steady accumulation of just over 200 miles per month. Such consistent progression rules out significant periods where the car stood idle, reducing the risk of battery degradation or suspension component seizing due to neglect. The clean MOT history does not guarantee perfect mechanical condition across all components outside the statutory test scope. You should verify the condition of the front suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or oil leakage from shock absorbers during a physical walkaround. Regenerative braking systems often keep mechanical disc pads light, yet corrosion on the rear calipers or brake discs requires visual confirmation given the low mileage context. Check tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity specifically for dry rot or uneven wear patterns that indicate alignment issues. A pre-purchase inspection focusing on these areas will validate the digital history and uncover any latent faults the static MOT test cannot detect.
