Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
The most critical point for negotiation is the tyre condition. With all four tyres flagged as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge, a full set of replacements will be required immediately. Ensure this cost is factored into your offer or requested as part of the sale preparation.
Beyond the tyres, request the full digital service history to confirm that all manufacturer software updates have been applied, as these are vital for the ID.3's infotainment and battery management. Given the low mileage, check for any signs of battery degradation or 'flat-spotting' if the car has been stationary for long periods.
As a fully electric vehicle, running costs are significantly lower than petrol or diesel equivalents. You will benefit from lower fuel costs per mile and reduced mechanical maintenance due to the lack of an internal combustion engine.
Annual costs will primarily consist of insurance, the evolving EV road tax structure, and tyre replacement—which is a known common failure point for this model. Based on the vehicle's profile, the estimated annual running cost is relatively low.
Pay close attention to the tyres and braking system. The MOT history specifically notes that all four tyres are worn close to the legal limit and the front service brake is fluctuating; verify if these have been rectified since January 2026.
Additionally, check the headlamps and seat belt buckles, as these are among the top failure reasons for the ID.3 across the wider fleet of 3,614 analysed vehicles. Ensure the charging port operates smoothly and the onboard cable is present and undamaged.
This grey 2023 Volkswagen ID.3 presents a very low-mileage profile, with only 5,912 miles recorded at its first MOT in January 2026. While the vehicle passed its test, the record shows advisories for all four tyres being worn close to the legal limit and a fluctuating front service brake. Overall, it represents a modern EV with usage well below the aggregate average for this model.
The ID.3 demonstrates a strong reliability profile with a 90.4% average MOT pass rate across 3,614 vehicles.
