2021 Volkswagen ID3 Life Electric · YF71 AHG

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 05 December 2025 at 61,288 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a technical failure exactly one day prior at 61,287 miles. This immediate pass suggests either an administrative error or a minor oversight that was rectified instantly rather than a systemic mechanical failure, as no specific defects were listed on the failed report. The car has accumulated significant mileage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,258 miles per year. Between the December 2024 test at 55,148 miles and the December 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 6,140 miles in just 365 days. This consistent high-mileage suggests the vehicle has been used for long-distance commuting rather than sitting for extended periods, which typically puts higher strain on wear-related components compared to lower mileage examples. While the MOT history is clean of structural or mechanical defects, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear areas. A buyer should scrutinise the front suspension for signs of worn coil springs and control arm bushings, which frequently degrade under the weight of electric drivetrains. The braking system should also be checked for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, as the recorded mileage of 61,288 miles approaches the interval where many consumable brake components require replacement.
