This 2010 Volkswagen has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 73,492 miles. While it has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, the vehicle's age and mileage demand thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows exceptionally high initial mileage (263,000 miles by Oct 2019), followed by a 6-year MOT gap, then a suspiciously low 119-mile increase between May 2020 and March 2022, and a significant 22,903-mile jump from March 2022 to March 2023.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage (63 mi/yr equivalent) recorded before Mar 2022.
- Mileage spike: 22,903-mile jump from Mar 2022 to Mar 2023, indicating a significant change in usage.
- Recurring suspension advisories: Coil spring, suspension arm, and anti-roll bar bush advisories across multiple tests.
- MOT status: Vehicle is currently Not Valid with MOT expiry 2024-03-22, indicating a recent lapse in compliance.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a high level of safety for its age.
- No recent major failures: The most recent MOT pass in March 2023 was after addressing a failure.
- Consistent high mileage: The vehicle has consistently covered high annual mileage, suggesting regular use.
- No dangerous defects on latest pass: The March 2023 MOT pass did not record any dangerous defects.
