2012 Volkswagen Beetle 2.0L Diesel · OY62 XAZ

The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 2 March 2026 at 125,532 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes stretching back to February 2022. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no advisories across five consecutive annual examinations, indicating the vehicle has been presented for test in a condition that met DVSA standards each time. Annual mileage has averaged close to 9,000 miles, in line with typical use for a fourteen-year-old car. The record shows steady accumulation: 69,278 miles in February 2022, rising to 78,413 by February 2023, 93,943 by March 2024, 110,959 by February 2025, and 125,532 by March 2026. No standing periods or abrupt jumps appear. The clean sheet across all entries means the data is sparse on faults, with no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns to interrogate. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection beneath the sills and subframes given the car's age, as structural integrity issues can develop between tests without triggering advisories. The absence of recorded binding calipers or worn coil springs in the history does not exempt the suspension and braking system from physical checks at this mileage. Verify the service history matches the odometer progression and confirm tyre age, as consumable wear falls outside MOT defect capture when above legal limits.
