2022 Volkswagen ID5 Style PRO Performance Electricity · RJ72 GYU

The most recent DVSA MOT, carried out on 27 November 2025, was recorded as a full pass with no advisory or failure items noted. With only a single MOT entry available, the absence of defects suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a level that satisfies the statutory roadworthiness criteria, and there is no indication of a deteriorating trend. In the absence of earlier failures or advisories, the maintenance pattern can be regarded as stable, provided the owner has continued routine servicing in line with Volkswagen’s schedule. At four years old the ID.5 has accumulated 41,472 miles, which works out to just over 10,000 miles per annum – a usage rate that sits comfortably within the normal band for a family‑size electric hatchback. This figure does not betray any periods of prolonged inactivity or unusually high mileage bursts, so wear on consumables should be consistent with the calendar age rather than excessive mileage. Nonetheless, electric drivetrains still experience component ageing, and the modest annual distance means that items such as tyres and suspension bushes may have been exposed more to calendar degradation than to mechanical fatigue. For a prospective buyer the primary checks should focus on time‑related wear. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or any signs of perishing, as rubber can deteriorate even with low mileage when the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Verify the condition of the 12 V auxiliary battery and, where possible, obtain a high‑voltage battery health report to confirm that capacity remains within the manufacturer’s warranty parameters. Examine the coolant reservoir and high‑voltage thermal management system for any leaks or corrosion, since fluid degradation is calendar‑driven. Test the brakes for any uneven pad wear, shudder or reduced regenerative braking feel, and ensure the calipers move freely without binding, as even electric vehicles can develop surface rust on discs when parked for long stretches. Finally, review the service book for evidence of scheduled software updates, brake fluid changes and suspension inspections, and confirm that any recall work specific to the ID.5 platform has been completed. Look for signs of corrosion around the wheel arches, undercarriage and battery pack housings, especially if the car has been stored in a damp environment. During a test drive listen for any clunks from the front or rear suspension bushes, check that the steering is tight and returns to centre without play, and verify that the charging port and cable connectors are free of damage or excessive wear. These checks, combined with the clean MOT history, will give a comprehensive picture of the vehicle’s current roadworthiness and the likely maintenance needs over the next few years.
