AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 39,536 miles. While many issues were addressed, the repeated nature of these problems suggests potential underlying wear or maintenance neglect.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,676 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, including a period of very low annual usage (Jan 2024: 87,307 mi, then Dec 2024: 94,646 mi).
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures and advisories across multiple tests (May 2019, May 2020, May 2023) indicate a history of poor maintenance.
- Windscreen damage and wiper issues are recurring, appearing in 9 minor advisories and 2 major failures (Nov 2016, May 2018).
- Brake pad and disc wear advisories from Dec 2024 are a recurring issue, suggesting ongoing wear and tear.
- The vehicle has a history of DANGEROUS tyre defects (May 2020) and MAJOR windscreen failures (May 2018).
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until January 2027, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age (7,676 miles/year) suggests regular, non-abusive use.
- All past failures and advisories were addressed and passed on subsequent retests, demonstrating owner responsiveness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation, with consistent annual readings.
