AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Volkswagen has 12 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 14,921 miles. However, a significant mileage anomaly and a known timing belt issue for this model present important buying considerations.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,355 miles/year, with a critical 14,921-mile reading in Jan 2015 that is significantly below UK average for its age.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 47,149 miles over 14 years (Jan 2012–Jan 2026).
- Jan 2019 MOT advisory: Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.2.3).
- Jan 2026 MOT advisory: Suspension arm (ADVISORY).
- Community-reported high-risk timing belt degradation for 1.4L engines.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
- Perfect MOT record: 8 consecutive passes with no failures or dangerous defects.
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-20, offering significant peace of mind.
- Consistent low annual mileage suggests light, careful use.
