Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for upco
When viewing this Beetle, prioritize a thorough inspection of the underside. The most recent MOT failure noted corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear lower suspension arms. Although recorded as 'not seriously weakened' in 2025, corrosion is progressive and should be monitored closely.
Ask the seller for evidence that the central exhaust mounting bolt was replaced and that the rear registration plate was properly secured following the 2025 failure. Given the 2023 advisory regarding perished tyres at only 14,309 miles, check the manufacture date of the current tyres to ensure they are not aged or cracking, regardless of tread depth.
With a 1.2L petrol engine, this Beetle is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for urban driving. Fuel economy should be respectable for a vehicle of this size and engine displacement.
Maintenance costs will be influenced by the recent suspension advisories. While the 1200cc engine is a common Volkswagen unit, ensure that any work carried out on the suspension or exhaust is supported by receipts to avoid unexpected repair bills shortly after purchase.
Focus heavily on the rear suspension area. The MOT history specifically flags corrosion on the nearside and offside rear lower suspension arms. You should inspect these for any signs of significant scaling or structural integrity issues beyond the 'not seriously weakened' status noted in 2025.
Additionally, check the exhaust system integrity. The 2025 failure was triggered by a missing mounting bolt for the central exhaust. Verify that the mounting brackets are secure and that no excessive vibration or noise occurs from the exhaust system during a test drive. Finally, inspect the tyres for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, as this has been a recurring theme in the vehicle's history.
This 2017 silver Volkswagen Beetle has covered 22,281 miles, which is relatively low for its age. However, its MOT history shows a recent failure in November 2025 involving exhaust mountings and suspension corrosion. Previous records also highlight issues with tyre perishing at lower mileages, suggesting the vehicle may have spent periods stationary.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific Volkswagen Beetle model.
