2022 Volkswagen ID4 Life Electric · YC72 KFE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 10 September 2025 at 18,902 miles. This recent result shows an improving maintenance trend after addressing a critical failure recorded just five days prior at 18,833 miles. While the initial failure indicated immediate safety concerns, the subsequent retest confirms that the owner addressed the necessary repairs to bring the car back to legal standards. At 18,902 miles over four years, the vehicle has covered significantly less mileage than average, averaging approximately 4,726 miles per year. The narrow gap of 69 miles between the failure on 5 September 2025 and the pass on 10 September 2025 suggests the car was driven specifically to rectify the flagged faults. Such low mileage generally implies less long-term wear on the electric drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to flat spotting or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect all four tyres to ensure the replacements are of adequate quality. The previous failure for exposed ply and cords on both the nearside and offside front tyres, along with insufficient tread on the nearside rear, indicates a total disregard for tyre condition prior to the test. Check for uneven wear patterns across the axle which might suggest alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the low mileage, also verify the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from cleaning the rotors effectively.
