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 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 29,095 miles. However, a pattern of recurring suspension and steering issues, combined with a recent brake advisory, warrants careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 8,953 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine mileage.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension and steering advisories (e.g., fractured coil spring, track rod dust cover) across multiple tests.
- Recent advisory for worn front brake discs (Jul 2025) indicates immediate maintenance is needed.
- Consistent pattern of tyre wear advisories (Jul 2020, Jul 2022, Jul 2025) suggests ongoing wear and tear.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until July 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (8,953 mi/yr) for its 13-year lifespan.
