This 2011 Volkswagen has 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 52,319 miles. However, the vehicle has accumulated significant wear and tear, particularly in the suspension and brake systems, which will require ongoing maintenance.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,106 miles per year, with a notable drop in recent years (2023: 5,881 miles, 2024: 6,895 miles) after consistent high mileage.

Things to check

  • High mileage (165,208 miles) for a 2011 vehicle indicates significant wear and tear.
  • The vehicle is currently Untaxed and has a Not Valid MOT, requiring immediate re-registration and a new MOT.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending its lifespan.
  • Single past MOT failure (2015) was immediately rectified, demonstrating prompt owner attention.
  • Recent MOT pass (Aug 2024) means the vehicle is currently roadworthy, despite advisories.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for this model.
