This 2009 Volkswagen has 8 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 44,898 miles. While it has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, the pattern of wear items failing repeatedly suggests potential neglect.
The vehicle shows consistent low annual mileage averaging 10,985 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though a 2013 MOT gap is noted.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures (Aug 2012, Jun 2014, Jun 2014) and advisories (Jun 2014, Jun 2014) indicate chronic wear.
- Brake disc wear advisory (Jun 2014, Jun 2014) and stop lamp failure (Jun 2014) suggest deferred maintenance.
- Major tyre failures (Jun 2014, Jun 2014) and lights (Jun 2014) caused test failures, impacting safety.
- The 2013 MOT gap is a concern, suggesting potential periods of unrecorded use or neglect.
Working in its favour
- Consistent low annual mileage (10,985 mi/yr) suggests light use, potentially extending component life.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
- The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating a solid safety foundation for its age.
- The 2017-12-18 MOT pass shows the vehicle was roadworthy at that time, despite prior issues.
