2021 Volkswagen Arteon 2.0L Petrol · OE71 FVT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in maintenance standards. The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 37,889 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year have been addressed, and the vehicle currently meets all minimum DVSA safety and emissions requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per annum. Between the September 2024 test at 28,342 miles and the September 2025 test at 37,889 miles, the car covered 9,547 miles. This recent interval suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber seals and braking components. While the current record is clean, the 2024 test highlighted specific consumable wear issues, including an offside front tyre worn to the edge near the legal limit and a nail in the offside rear tyre. The uneven wear on the front tyre often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. A buyer should personally inspect the current tyres for similar uneven patterns and verify that the wheel alignment has been performed to prevent premature degradation of new rubber.
