This 2007 Volkswagen has 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 36,738 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the mileage discrepancy and persistent advisories for brakes, tyres, and suspension warrant significant caution.
A critical mileage anomaly is present: 67,968 miles in Nov 2014 decreased to 20,556 miles in Nov 2015, followed by a significant jump to 51,350 miles/yr equivalent by Nov 2016, indicating potential odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Nov 2014 (67,968 mi) and Nov 2015 (20,556 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
- Mileage decreased from 67,968 miles (Nov 2014) to 20,556 miles (Nov 2015) — possible odometer fraud.
- Recurring major failures: Emissions (2 failures), Bodywork (1 failure) — structural integrity concerns.
- Recurring advisories: Brakes (12 advisories), Tyres (11 advisories), Suspension (8 advisories) — consistent wear pattern.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-20, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current owner has maintained it to pass.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — high safety standards for its age.
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage (5,610 miles/yr) suggests light use.
