2022 Volkswagen ID4 Life Electric · ND72 XRK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status based on its most recent MOT test in December 2025, though the maintenance trend indicates a lack of attention regarding consumable items. While the car passed without major mechanical or structural failures, the advisories highlight that multiple tyres are reaching the end of their functional life. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than proactive preventative care. At 29,064 miles recorded during the December 2025 test, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,266 miles per year over its four years. This figure aligns with typical annual usage for a modern EV, suggesting the car has not been subjected to high-stress long-distance commuting. The data remains sparse due to the vehicle's relative age, but the consistent mileage accumulation points to steady usage patterns that avoid undue strain on the battery and drivetrain components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the remaining tyre set and suspension geometry. The tester flagged the nearside front, offside front, and offside rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This specific wear pattern often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which should be checked to prevent premature failure of new tyres. Given the electric nature of the ID.4, verifying the brake system for corrosion or pitting is also advisable, as low mileage usage can sometimes lead to surface rust on discs due to infrequent use.
