2019 Volkswagen Arteon 2.0L Petrol · V5 DGC

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the most recent MOT on 3 July 2025 at 56,299 miles, passing with no recorded defects. The earlier brake‑related advisories in 2022 and 2023 have not re‑appeared, indicating that the issue was remedied and the maintenance trend is stabilising rather than deteriorating. Mileage has risen from 31,264 miles in the July 2022 test to 40,302 miles in July 2023, then to 47,574 miles in July 2024 and 56,299 miles in July 2025. This equates to roughly 8‑9 k miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a seven‑year‑old Arteon. No abnormal spikes or prolonged gaps are evident; the record shows a steady accumulation of mileage and consistent annual testing. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the braking system. Although the 2025 test recorded no faults, the 2023 note on rear disc wear and the 2022 comment on thin front pads suggest that components were approaching the end of their service life at that time. Inspect both front and rear discs for scoring, thickness, and any uneven wear, and verify that pads are within safe limits. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or corrosion, as the vehicle’s mileage and age place moderate demand on these parts. Check tyre tread depth and uniformity, as tyre wear often mirrors brake performance, and confirm that wiper blades and other consumables are in good condition. A visual inspection for structural rust, especially around wheel arches and undercarriage, will complete the assessment.
