This 2018 Volkswagen has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 15,505 miles. The mileage is also suspiciously low for its age, raising odometer integrity questions.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,679 miles/year, with a significant 3-year gap (2020-2023) in MOT history, and a 1-year gap (2024-2025) in recorded mileage, indicating potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Major steering failure (Offside Front Track rod end ball joint) on 2023-08-02, though immediately rectified.

- MOT history shows a 3-year gap (2020-2023) with no recorded mileage or tests.

Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-06-26, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major failures on critical systems like brakes or suspension.
- Low annual mileage (3,679 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates high safety standards.
