AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Volkswagen has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 12,984 miles. This fundamental data inconsistency makes a reliable assessment impossible and raises serious concerns about the vehicle's provenance and roadworthiness.
The provided MOT history shows a 3-year gap (2017-2025) with no recorded tests, making any mileage analysis or assessment of usage patterns impossible.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Aug 2025): Nearside Rear Hydraulic brake cylinder leaking and braking performance affected
- Critical 3-year MOT history gap (2017-2025) — no recorded tests for 8 years.
- Mileage trajectory is entirely unreliable due to the 3-year MOT data absence.
- No valid MOT history for 8 years (2017-2025) — vehicle's roadworthiness is unverified.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- No specific positive MOT findings are present due to the critical 3-year data gap.
