This 2012 Volkswagen has 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 13,379 miles. The car's extremely low mileage for its age (13,379 miles in 14 years) is a significant red flag that requires thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 54,848 miles over 14 years (Jan 2012 to Apr 2026), which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, raising odometer integrity concerns.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 54,848 mi over 14 years (Jan 2012 to Apr 2026).
- Recurring tyre advisories (Apr 2026) and anti-roll bar link (Oct 2021, Apr 2023) indicate ongoing wear.
- Low annual mileage (3,836 mi/yr) suggests potential for parts degradation or infrequent maintenance.
- First registration Jan 2012 with only 54,848 miles by Apr 2026 is a major red flag for odometer fraud.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Strong MOT record with 9 passes and 1 minor failure, showing general roadworthiness.
- No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety hazards.
- Valid MOT until April 2027, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
