How we estimate prices and check cars

Price

Good value: £302 (23%) under the AskCar estimate of £1,297.

It draws on 297 priced Volkswagen Beetle adverts across different ages and specifications, as of 2 November 2026.

Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 2 November 2026: valid until 20 September 2027.

It failed its MOT on 13 August 2026 (nearside front headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect; nearside front headlamp has a product on the lens so that the light output is severely reduced; nearside rear registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources; and 2 more) and passed 39 days later, on 21 September 2026.

Advisories at the latest test: rear registration plate deteriorated but not likely to be misread; front tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge both; nearside front headlamp has a product on the lens but not seriously reducing light output.

Mileage at that test: 145,430 miles. The advert says 142,312 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
