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 17,345 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring tyre and brake advisories, combined with the extremely low mileage, make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows a critically low mileage of 17,345 miles over 14 years, averaging only 3,418 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.
Things to check
- Mileage of 17,345 miles over 14 years is critically low and highly suspicious for odometer fraud.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Apr 2019, Oct 2024, Oct 2025) and brake disc advisories (Oct 2024, Oct 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
- Offside Front Windscreen wiper failed twice (Sep 2016, Apr 2017) and Offside Front Headlamp aim failed (Apr 2017).
- Offside Front Headlamp aim failed (Apr 2017) and Nearside Front Suspension arm bush excessively worn (Apr 2017).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
