This 2018 Volkswagen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 26,381 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated tyre defects and ongoing brake wear indicate potential neglect of critical safety components.
The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 9,721 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in 2025-2026 aligning with typical usage.
Things to check
- Four DANGEROUS tyre failures recorded across 2021, 2023, and 2024 MOT tests.
- Recurring brake advisories (12+ items) since 2021, indicating persistent wear on critical safety components.
- Recent major failure on 2026-03-04 for a dangerous defect, followed by a quick retest pass.
- Consistent pattern of tyre and brake issues suggests a reactive maintenance approach.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-12, providing significant peace of mind for the immediate future.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,721 miles/year, indicating normal and predictable usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record for the model.
