AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Volkswagen has 7 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 14,269 miles. The vehicle's low annual usage is a positive, but the repeated tyre issues suggest a need for immediate attention.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,863 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 14,269 miles recorded since its first MOT in July 2021.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jul 2022, Jul 2023) indicate a persistent wear issue.
- Offside Headlamp failed (Jul 2024) and Offside Front Track rod end failed (Jul 2024) show recent maintenance needs.
- Low annual mileage (4,863 mi/yr) may suggest limited use, but also means less opportunity for maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until July 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (4,863 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
