2021 Volkswagen ID3 Life 2.0L Electric · S80 ESE

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 18 September 2025 at 70,569 miles returned no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents mechanical failures or structural concerns during the annual testing process. The mileage accumulation is significant for a five-year-old electric vehicle, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum. Between the September 2022 test at 21,909 miles and the September 2025 test at 70,569 miles, the car covered nearly 50,000 miles in three years. This consistent high usage suggests the vehicle has been used for regular commuting rather than sitting for long periods. The lack of any advisories despite this mileage implies that the drivetrain and suspension components have withstood the accelerated wear patterns typically associated with high-mileage electric cars. While the MOT record is clear of recorded faults, a buyer should focus on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. A physical inspection should target the front suspension bushes and control arms for signs of premature tearing, as the weight of the ID3 places considerable stress on these parts. The braking system should be checked for uneven pad wear or caliper corrosion, as regenerative braking systems can sometimes allow surface rust if mechanical brakes are not used frequently. Checking the tyre tread depth and wear patterns is also essential given the high mileage recorded since the initial registration.
