2018 Volkswagen California 2.0L Diesel · WP18 AEF

The vehicle held a valid pass at its most recent MOT on 9 June 2025 at 48,866 miles, but that certificate expired on 9 June 2026 and today's date of 19 July 2026 leaves it without current roadworthiness validation. Across the supplied history the maintenance trend is stable with no defects or advisories recorded. On 7 June 2024 the tester logged a failure at 39,459 miles with no defects listed, then issued a pass the same day, indicating an administrative anomaly rather than mechanical decline. Mileage relative to the 2018 build shows light to moderate use, averaging around 6,100 miles per year. The supplied record begins at the 4 April 2022 test with 26,366 miles on the clock. Over the next fourteen months to 9 June 2023 the odometer crept up only 707 miles to 27,073, indicating a period of minimal running or storage. From June 2023 to June 2024 the vehicle covered 12,386 miles, then 9,407 miles to the 2025 test, reflecting regular campervan-style touring. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic upkeep given the absence of recorded faults, though the lack of pre-2022 entries limits full verification of early care. A buyer should still inspect in person areas vulnerable to hidden wear despite the clean sheet. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for degradation from prolonged static loading during the low-mileage phase. Examine brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding after standing, and assess structural integrity at chassis joints and underbody for rust. Verify exhaust emissions under real driving load and confirm tyre condition, while scheduling a fresh MOT given the lapsed status.
