AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Volkswagen has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 18,676 miles. The single prior failure for a seatbelt also warrants careful investigation.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,971 miles per year, with a significant spike of 13,580 miles between March 2025 and April 2026.
Things to check
- Recurring advisories on tyres (Mar 2023, Mar 2024, Mar 2025) and brakes (Mar 2024, Mar 2025, Apr 2026) indicate ongoing wear.
- Offside Front Seat belt webbing significantly stretched (Mar 2020) — a safety-critical failure that was immediately rectified.
- Consistent low annual mileage (4,971 mi/yr) suggests limited use, which can exacerbate wear on critical components.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until April 2027, providing peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (4,971 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record for its era.
