AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Volkswagen has 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 19,730 miles. However, a pattern of recurring tyre advisories and a recent failure for a windscreen wiper suggest a need for thorough inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 6,778 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 8 tests (Dec 2024, Dec 2025) indicate a persistent wear issue.
- Major failure for windscreen wiper (Dec 2024) followed by immediate retest, suggesting a borderline pass.
- Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover failure (Dec 2024) highlights a recent suspension concern.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-07 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age (6,778 mi/yr) suggests careful, light use.
