This 2014 Volkswagen has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 23,920 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring failures and advisories, particularly on tyres and brakes, indicates a history of reactive maintenance.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 6,457 miles/year, averaging 2,663 miles/year between 2019 and 2024, and 9,635 miles/year in 2025, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
Things to check
- Recurring major failures on lights (Dec 2019) and registration plate lamps (Dec 2019) suggest electrical issues.
- Recurring major failures on windscreen wipers (Dec 2019) and registration plate lamps (Dec 2019) indicate owner neglect.
- Recurring advisories on tyres (Aug 2021, Sep 2023) and brakes (Sep 2020, Sep 2023) point to a pattern of wear items being run to failure.
- Major failure on Nearside Rear Registration plate lamp inoperative (Dec 2019) and Nearside Headlamp aim too high (Dec 2019) shows a lack of basic maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until September 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age, averaging 6,457 miles/year, indicating light usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies, which is a positive.
