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 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 36,594 miles. The most recent MOT in Jan 2026 flagged a coil spring advisory, and a significant service gap in 2021 requires investigation.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,005 miles/year, with a notable drop in annual usage from 2019 to 2024 (2,558 miles in 2024), but no decreases or anomalies.

Things to check

  • Recurring advisories on tyres (Nov 2018, Nov 2020) and brakes (Nov 2018, Nov 2020) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Jan 2026 MOT noted an advisory for a coil spring, a critical suspension component.
  • A significant 2021 service gap is noted in the MOT history, requiring clarification.
  • The vehicle is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.

Working in its favour

  • No MOT failures recorded across 8 tests, demonstrating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,000 miles, showing no signs of odometer fraud.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until January 2027, offering peace of mind for the next year.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
