This 2009 Volkswagen has 25 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 14,570 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the high mileage and unexplained mileage drop present unacceptable risks.
A critical mileage decrease was detected between Feb 2015 (127,780 mi) and Aug 2015 (13,405 mi), indicating possible odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Feb 2015 (127,780 mi) and Aug 2015 (13,405 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
- AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Aug 2015 – Aug 2016)
- Mileage decreased significantly between Feb 2015 (127,780 mi) and Aug 2015 (13,405 mi).
- Unusually high initial mileage (283,160 mi/yr equivalent) before Feb 2016.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 9 historical failures
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects found in the MOT history.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit with a significant mileage anomaly.
