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 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 28,534 miles. However, a pattern of recurring minor defects, particularly with lights and tyres, and a significant 2021 service gap, warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 28,534 miles over 13 years, averaging 7,099 miles per year, which is below the UK average of 8,000.
Things to check
- Recurring minor defects: Headlamp aim (Nov 2016, Jun 2022), registration plate lamp (Jun 2022, Jun 2025), and tyres (Jun 2022, May 2023, Jun 2025).
- Significant 2021 service gap: No MOT recorded between Dec 2020 and Jun 2022, indicating potential off-road use or neglect.
- Persistent tyre wear advisories: Recurring across multiple tests (Jun 2022, May 2023, Jun 2025) suggests ongoing maintenance needs.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until June 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age, indicating light and regular use.
