This 2011 Volkswagen has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 25,476 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 4-year MOT gap, presents significant unverified risks.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage for its age, with only 25,476 miles recorded by 2014, followed by a 4-year MOT gap, and then only 83,419 miles over the next 11 years, indicating potential long periods of inactivity or deliberate underreporting.
Things to check
- MOT HISTORY: 12 tests — 8 passed, 4 failed; recurring brake system and exhaust issues.
- MILEAGE GAPS: 4-year MOT gap (2022) with only 104 miles recorded in 2 years.
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: Suspiciously low mileage (104 mi/yr equivalent) before Jan 2023.
- DANGEROUS DEFECT: Tyres failed as dangerous in Oct 2020.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP: 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety rating for its age.
- MOT VALID: Current MOT valid until 10 Jan 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent Mileage: Normal annual usage (7,257 mi/yr) aligns with UK average.
- No Odometer Fraud: No mileage decreases or suspiciously round numbers detected.
