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 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 39,680 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high annual usage and repeated issues with critical safety systems warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent high annual usage, averaging 17,832 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes in the 13-year history.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures/advisories across 6 tests (Sep 2018, Sep 2019, Sep 2021, Sep 2022) indicate chronic wear.
- Multiple suspension component failures (coil spring, shock absorber) in 4 tests (Sep 2019, Sep 2020, Sep 2021) suggest structural neglect.
- Brake system failures (parking brake, tyres) in 3 tests (Sep 2019, Sep 2020, Sep 2022) point to a history of safety-critical neglect.
- High annual mileage (17,832 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) means accelerated wear on all components.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-19 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no anomalies, suggesting genuine high usage.
