2022 Volkswagen Arteon 2.0L Diesel · WH10 NAT

The Volkswagen Arteon presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 28 February 2026 at 31,914 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with the only blemish being a failed test on 27 February 2026 at 31,872 miles that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault before the subsequent pass one day later. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a four-year-old vehicle, with the record showing 19,950 miles at the 6 March 2025 test and 31,914 miles by February 2026. That equates to roughly 11,964 miles added in under twelve months, a moderate rise from the prior annualised rate of about 6,650 miles, though still within normal parameters for the model. The supplied history is sparse, covering only two test years, and shows clean sheets apart from the unexplained failure, which limits longitudinal wear analysis. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and coil springs given the low sample of tests and the unexplained failure entry. The absence of advisories on either pass means no corrosion, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers were flagged by DVSA testers, but the single failed attempt with zero recorded defects warrants verification of the V5C and test certificate to confirm no omitted fault. Prior ownership appears to have maintained basic servicing discipline, with no tyre tread, wiper blade, or structural integrity concerns raised across the record. The Arteon's low mileage and clean advisories imply light use, yet the gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests leaves the intermediate period unverified for consumable wear.
