This 2010 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 60,535 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect and high mileage demand thorough investigation.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop from 134,577 miles in Nov 2020 to 122,030 miles in Apr 2019, indicating a possible odometer fraud or a major discrepancy.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in Apr 2019 and Nov 2023, indicating chronic neglect.
- Mileage anomaly: 134,577 miles in Nov 2020 dropped to 122,030 miles in Apr 2019, a major red flag.
- Major brake failure in Nov 2021, with a related advisory in the same test, suggests poor maintenance.
- The vehicle is currently on SORN with no valid MOT, requiring immediate re-registration and inspection.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,752 miles/year, indicating regular use.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering after initial issues.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 provides a strong safety foundation.
