AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Volkswagen has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 13,059 miles. While these were addressed, the sheer volume of advisories and the owner's reactive approach to maintenance warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent annual usage, averaging 9,208 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, indicating normal mileage for its age.
Things to check
- Recurring brake disc advisories across 5 tests (Sep 2020, Oct 2021, Oct 2022, Oct 2023, Oct 2025) suggest ongoing wear.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories across 2 tests (Oct 2022, Oct 2023) indicate a need for ongoing inspection.
- Recurring emissions system advisories across 4 tests (Sep 2020, Oct 2021, Oct 2022, Oct 2023) point to potential DPF issues.
- The 2018-05-15 failure for a wiper and bulged tyre, though rectified, shows a reactive maintenance approach.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-08 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage of 9,208 miles/year is well within UK average, indicating normal use.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects have been recorded in the MOT history.
