AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Volkswagen has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 46,187 miles. While it has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, the recurring advisories for tyres and suspension, combined with a 2023 service gap, warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,322 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2024, suggesting periods of inactivity or light use.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Shock absorbers likely to become detached (Sep 2020) — immediately fixed but indicates past neglect.
- Recurring advisories: Tyres (9 advisories) and suspension arm (5 advisories) across multiple tests, indicating chronic wear items.
- Service gap: No MOT recorded for 2023, suggesting a period of off-road use or a missing service history.
- Mileage trajectory: Consistently low annual mileage (5,322 mi/yr) with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2024.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017) — excellent safety credentials for a 2013 model.
- Immediate retest passes: All failures were immediately rectified, demonstrating responsive ownership and maintenance.
- Low mileage for age: 46,187 miles over 13 years indicates light, potentially careful use.
