This 2012 Volkswagen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 36,337 miles. The car also carries a known high-risk timing belt degradation advisory from the community.
The vehicle shows normal annual usage (11,618 mi/yr) from 2018 to 2022, but a 3-year MOT gap (Aug 2019-Oct 2022) means mileage during this period is unverified, raising integrity concerns.
Things to check

- Mileage anomaly: Significant drop in annual usage (34,943 mi in 2.5 years, Oct 2022–Nov 2022).
- Community-reported high-risk timing belt degradation advisory for this model.
- Three MOT failures (Aug 2018, Oct 2022, Nov 2025) with no defect details provided.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-18, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Normal annual mileage (11,618 mi/yr) for its age, suggesting regular use.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects in the recent MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features.
