Volkswagen Id3 Family (2023)
2023 Volkswagen Id3 Family
CarHunch is tracking 2,655 2023 Volkswagen Id3 Family vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
The 2023 Volkswagen ID3 Family is failing its MOT at an alarming rate—just 9.7% pass first time compared to the UK average of 80%—though the dangerous defect rate of 0.3% is reassuringly low. This catastrophic pass rate suggests systemic issues with this particular model year or cohort that buyers need to investigate urgently before purchase.
With median mileage of just 19,680 miles for a one-year-old vehicle, these cars are still practically new, yet they're racking up failures at an extraordinary pace. The average vehicle has virtually no failures (0.01 per car) but carries 0.1 advisories, indicating minor wear rather than major defects—the real problem appears to be a specific, recurring fault rather than general unreliability. Before buying this model, contact VW directly to confirm whether there's a known recall or technical service bulletin affecting the 2023 ID3 Family, as a 90% failure rate is far too abnormal to ignore.
We have 2,655 2023 Volkswagen Id3 Family vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Volkswagen Id3 Family
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
