This 2007 Volkswagen has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 40,243 miles. Recurring advisories for tyres and a shock absorber, combined with high usage, indicate significant wear and potential upcoming maintenance.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,805 miles/year, with 40,243 miles recorded in Sep 2018 and 177,316 miles in Nov 2020, indicating heavy commercial or long-distance driving.

Things to check

  • High mileage for age: 40,243 miles in Sep 2018, then 177,316 miles in Nov 2020.
  • Single MOT failure on 2020-11-02 for shock absorber, though immediately rectified.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Sep 2019, Nov 2020) and shock absorber advisories (Nov 2020) suggest ongoing wear.
  • MOT expired 2021-11-01; current MOT status is 'Not valid' as of the analysis date.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • No major recurring failures, only one minor failure in 2020.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features.
