In 2021, the number of electric cars in the Vale of White Horse (which includes Abingdon) rose by 50%.

Abingdon is in a rural area where you're likely to encounter uneven road surfaces and sharp turns, putting strain on your tyres and suspension. Regularly inspecting these components and following our tyre maintenance advice will help prevent any problems from developing.

Volkswagen is a staple of British roads - popular, stylish and reliable - so it's no wonder it was the UK's best-selling car brand in 2021 and 2022. However, the brand's global popularity began much earlier with the original Volkswagen Beetle, one of the best-selling cars of the entire 20th century, with over 21.5 million vehicles sold. And while classic VW models like the Golf continue to dominate sales, newer editions like the all-electric ID. Buzz are also causing a stir. At the 2023 WhatCar? Awards, the Buzz was crowned both 'Large Electric Car of the Year' and overall 'Car of the Year'. Find out how much servicing costs for a Volkswagen in this guide.
