This 2010 Volkswagen has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 38,917 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the mileage anomaly is a critical red flag for any buyer.
The MOT history shows a critical mileage decrease: 141,238 miles in Dec 2024, but only 136,574 miles in Nov 2025, a 4,664-mile drop that is a clear red flag for odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Dec 2024 (141,238 mi) and Nov 2025 (136,574 mi) — possible odometer tamper
- Mileage decreased by 4,664 miles between Dec 2024 (141,238 mi) and Nov 2025 (136,574 mi) — clear odometer tampering indicator.
- Three MOT failures recorded, including a major suspension failure and a major brake failure in 2013.
- Brake system had a major failure in 2013 and a minor defect in 2014, indicating historical neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-03, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,579 miles/year, aligning with UK average usage.
- No recurring major system failures in the most recent MOT tests (2024, 2025).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
