This 2018 Volkswagen has 7 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 18,231 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated advisories for critical wear items like tyres and brakes, and the recent shock absorber advisories, indicate potential ongoing maintenance costs.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 6,713 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low annual usage of 6,034 miles in 2024-2025.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jun 2024): Nearside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed 205/55/16 (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
- DANGEROUS tyre defect on 2023-06-16 (34,904 mi) indicates severe neglect of critical safety components.
- Recurring brake pad advisories (Jun 2024, Jun 2025) and shock absorber misting (Jun 2023, Jun 2025) suggest ongoing wear.
- Major failure for headlamp aim on 2023-06-16 (34,904 mi) points to basic electrical neglect.
