AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2013 Volkswagen has 13 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 19,388 miles. While it shows advisories for wear items, the owner's proactive approach to maintenance is a positive sign.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,241 miles per year, with a notable dip in usage between 2020 and 2021, but no suspicious drops or round numbers.

Things to check

  • One minor MOT failure on 2021-10-01, immediately retested and passed on the same day.
  • Feb 2026 MOT advisory for worn front tyres and brake discs indicates upcoming maintenance needs.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • Strong MOT record with 9 passes out of 10 tests and no dangerous defects.
  • Consistent low mileage for its age, suggesting light use and potential longevity.
