2015 Volkswagen Sharan 2.0L Diesel · NJ65 LDN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of clean inspections. The most recent MOT conducted on 09 September 2025 at 78,581 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the previous owner successfully addressed any prior non-compliance. While the vehicle suffered a failure in September 2024, the subsequent pass without any advisories suggests that the mechanical issues were rectified and the car currently maintains a high standard of operational presentation. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,144 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 55,863 miles and the 2025 test at 78,581 miles, the car covered 22,718 miles, reflecting steady, moderate use rather than long periods of stagnation or heavy commercial stress. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on-duty components like the drivetrain and suspension bushings, though the age of the vehicle still poses a risk of rubber-based degradation and fluid oxidation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the cause of the September 2024 failure, as the record does not detail the specific component that failed. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the last two tests, the vehicle appears well-maintained, yet rubber components often become brittle over a decade despite low mileage. Inspect the structural integrity for surface corrosion and check the condition of the brake calipers for binding, as these are common points of interest for Sharans of this era. The clean recent history suggests a vehicle that has been proactively maintained to pass testing requirements.
