Our Verdict
A low-mileage example of the Volkswagen
Pay close attention to the suspension system; the nearside front lower suspension arm bush has been flagged in 2022, 2024, and 2025, indicating it is a persistent issue that may now require replacement. You should also verify the current state of the front brake discs, as they have been described as worn, pitted, or scored in multiple tests.
Given the low annual mileage, ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity. Check for evidence of a consistent service interval regardless of mileage, and specifically ask for documentation regarding the timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical maintenance items for this 2.0L diesel engine.
The 1968cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency in a large MPV, though fuel economy will vary based on load. Tax and insurance will be typical for a large family vehicle of this era, with insurance groups generally falling in the mid-range.
Maintenance costs for the Sharan can be higher than smaller cars due to the complexity of the chassis and the cost of genuine Volkswagen parts. Budget for the imminent replacement of suspension components and tyres, as the offside rear tyre was noted as being close to the legal limit in late 2025.
Perform a detailed visual inspection of the rear lower suspension arms to assess the extent of the corrosion noted in the November 2025 MOT. Check the front brake discs for pitting or scoring, as this has been a recurring advisory for several years.
Additionally, verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is functioning correctly, as this was a primary cause of an MOT failure in November 2024. Finally, check the condition of all rubber bushings and tyres, given the low mileage and the specific wear patterns recorded in the history.
This black 2013 Sharan has covered 73,086 miles, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history reveals a pattern of recurring advisories regarding the nearside front suspension bush and brake disc pitting dating back to 2022. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025, new advisories regarding corrosion on the rear lower suspension arms have appeared.
Aggregate MOT data is not available for the Volkswagen Sharan, but the 2.0L diesel is a widely used engine across the VW group.
