This 2021 Volkswagen has 4 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 27,228 miles. The car's history shows a pattern of wear items being addressed, but the underlying issues need careful investigation.

The vehicle shows consistent annual usage, averaging 8,815 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 46,833 miles recorded by April 2026.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2026): Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • Dangerous brake failure on 2026-04-24 (front pads <1.5mm) indicates a critical safety lapse.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories (2024, 2025, 2026) suggest ongoing wear and potential neglect.
  • Engine breather pipe split (2026-04-24) is a recent, unaddressed safety-critical defect.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,815 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
  • Valid MOT until 2027-04-28, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
  • All prior advisories were addressed and passed on subsequent retests, demonstrating owner responsiveness.
