2020 Volkswagen ID3 Life Electric · PY70 EPC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT pass on 21 November 2025 at 56,139 miles. While the car passed, the tester flagged three tyres worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, specifically the offside front, nearside rear, and offside rear. This indicates a recurring pattern of tyre management issues. The vehicle failed its previous test on 24 November 2023 at 34,068 miles due to a missing road wheel fixing, a nail in the nearside front tyre, and several tyres reaching the legal wear limit. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle. The car travelled 13,118 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, and a further 8,847 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This averages roughly 9,356 miles per year, which aligns with the provided context of standard annual driving. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, and the mileage increments suggest regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity. The recurring advisories regarding tyre wear on the edges across the 2023 and 2025 tests suggest a potential underlying issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes, control arms, and tracking to ensure uneven tyre wear is not being caused by mechanical misalignment. The presence of edge wear on multiple tyres often points to camber or toe issues that can lead to premature consumable replacement. Beyond the tyres, the 2023 failure for a missing road wheel fixing suggests a lapse in basic maintenance checks. While the vehicle has passed since then, the history of tyre-related issues implies that the previous owner may have been reactive rather than proactive with consumable upkeep. A physical inspection of the wheel bearings and brake components is advised to ensure no secondary issues have developed alongside the documented tyre wear.
