This 2011 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 32,925 miles. However, a significant 30,876-mile discrepancy in 2020, combined with a DANGEROUS brake failure and recurring brake advisories, raises serious concerns about its past maintenance and mileage integrity.
A critical 30,876-mile discrepancy occurred on 28 Oct 2020, where the first test recorded 50,109 miles, but the retest immediately afterwards showed 80,985 miles, indicating a major data anomaly.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 28 Oct 2020 (test 50,109 mi) — immediate safety concern.
- Unusually large mileage difference (30,876 mi) on 28 Oct 2020 retest — high fraud risk.
- Recurring brake disc advisories (Oct 2020, Nov 2021) — indicates ongoing wear and potential neglect.
- Major windscreen failure (Nov 2018) and wiper advisories (Nov 2021) — multiple visibility issues.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-09, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage (6,489 mi/yr) for a 15-year-old vehicle.
- No recurring major failures on critical systems like engine or transmission.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
