This 2002 Volkswagen has 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 34,788 miles. While it has a long MOT record, the pattern of wear on critical components warrants careful inspection.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Oct 2013 (56 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, which is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Oct 2013 (56 mi/yr equivalent).
- Recurring Suspension Issues: Offside Front Lower Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated (Apr 2007 advisory) and constant velocity joint gaiter split (Oct 2009 fail).
- Recurring Tyre Issues: Offside Front constant velocity joint gaiter deteriorated (Mar 2008 advisory) and split (Oct 2009 fail).
- Recurring Brake Issues: Offside Front constant velocity joint gaiter deteriorated (Mar 2008 advisory) and split (Oct 2009 fail).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Long MOT History: Vehicle has a comprehensive MOT history from 2006 to 2015, indicating regular roadworthiness checks.
- Immediate Retests: All 2 failures were immediately rectified and retested, showing prompt owner attention to safety issues.
- Consistent Annual Mileage: After the initial low usage, the car's annual mileage has been consistent, suggesting a settled owner.
