This 2018 Volkswagen has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 42,109 miles. This, combined with a major tyre failure and recurring brake advisories, makes the vehicle's true condition and history highly questionable.
A critical mileage anomaly is present: 42,109 miles in Oct 2021, then 36,449 miles in Oct 2022, indicating a 5,660-mile decrease, which is a strong indicator of potential odometer tampering.
