2021 Volkswagen ID4 1ST Edition Electricity · YY21 VVR

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 10 February 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking back through the history to February 2024, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, with three consecutive clean passes. This absence of recorded failures or cautionary notes indicates a vehicle that has been kept in good mechanical order and suggests a consistent approach to its upkeep. The recorded mileage of 78,265 miles is high for a five year old vehicle, averaging approximately 15,653 miles per annum. Such high usage typically points toward long distance commuting or motorway driving, which generally places less stress on the drivetrain than urban stop start cycles but increases the wear on consumables and chassis components. At this mileage, the buyer should be mindful of the accelerated wear on suspension elements and the overall state of the tyre treads. Given the clean MOT record, the physical inspection should focus on wear items that do not always trigger a failure until they are critical. Due to the high mileage, closely examine the tyre treads for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate a need for wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. During the test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension over uneven surfaces and feel for any steering vagueness that may suggest the bushings are reaching the end of their service life. As an electric vehicle, the braking system is subject to less frequent use due to regenerative braking, which can lead to brake disc corrosion or binding calipers. Ensure the brakes feel progressive and that the vehicle does not pull to one side under light braking. Additionally, verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery and check the service history for calendar based maintenance, specifically the replacement of the cabin pollen filter and the brake fluid, which degrades over time regardless of the mileage.
