AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2015 Volkswagen has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 43,360 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2026, the pattern of neglect and safety-critical failures makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant anomaly: 55,247 miles in Jun 2019, then a 35,730-mile jump to 106,558 miles by Jul 2021, followed by a 31,303-mile increase to 138,664 miles by Jul 2022, and a 16,963-mile increase to 155,627 miles by Jul 2023. This pattern is highly irregular and suggests potential odometer fraud or a major data entry error.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jul 2025): Nearside Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2019-06-15 (55,247 mi) — immediate safety risk.
- DANGEROUS shock absorber leak on 2019-06-15 (55,247 mi) — serious structural wear.
- Recurring brake disc advisories (Jun 2019) escalated to dangerous failures (Jul 2025) — chronic neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-23 — no immediate retesting required.
- No outstanding MOT failures or advisories since the last pass on 2025-07-24.
- Consistent annual mileage increases (though high for age) suggest regular use.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates good inherent safety design.
