2021 Volkswagen ID4 GTX Electric · ND71 DBY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows an inconsistent approach to tyre management. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 23,193 miles passed, it introduced advisories for both rear tyres being worn to the legal limit and exhibiting uneven inner wear. This follows a failure in November 2024 at 18,670 miles where both front tyres failed due to exposed ply and cords. The transition from critical failure to worn tyres suggests the owner is performing reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,639 miles per year. The car covered 4,523 miles between the November 2024 and 2025 tests, indicating consistent but light usage. This low annual mileage generally suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to flat-spotting or brake caliper seizing if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment. The uneven inner wear noted on the rear axle in 2025 often points to incorrect tracking settings or worn suspension bushes, which will accelerate if left unaddressed. Given the history of rapidly deteriorating front tyres, check the front control arms and bushings for premature degradation. Additionally, verify that the brake discs are not heavily corroded or pitted due to the low-usage pattern of the vehicle.
