This 2017 Volkswagen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 13,862 miles. While major failures were promptly rectified, the consistent tyre wear and low early usage warrant careful investigation.
The vehicle recorded suspiciously low mileage (366 miles/yr equivalent) between registration in Jan 2017 and its first MOT in Sep 2020, followed by normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 9 tests (Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Apr 2023, Apr 2024, Apr 2025, Apr 2026) indicate chronic wear.
- Suspiciously low mileage (366 mi/yr equivalent) recorded before Apr 2023 suggests periods of inactivity or very light use.
- Offside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (Apr 2024 FAIL) and Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (Apr 2024 FAIL) were major failures.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until April 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- All major failures (suspension, windscreen washer) were promptly rectified and passed retests.
- Consistent annual mileage post-2023 (9,483–18,229 miles/year) suggests normal, recent usage.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record for its model year.
