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 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 50,760 miles. The car has been well-maintained, but the owner's history of neglecting critical wear items is a concern.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,194 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though annual usage has significantly decreased since 2020.

Things to check

  • Recurring shock absorber advisories across 7 tests (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) indicate a systemic issue.
  • Major failures for both rear tyres (cuts to ply) on 2019-04-27, and a fractured rear coil spring on 2019-04-27.
  • Persistent brake disc wear advisories on 2019-04-27 and 2020-04-27 suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance.
  • The 2016-10-21 MOT failure for windscreen wipers, though minor, shows a lack of attention to basic maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-14 provides peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory (7,194 mi/yr) with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects in the MOT history.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars indicates a strong safety record for this model.
