This 2007 Volkswagen has 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 65,681 miles. The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop in annual usage after 2019, which warrants investigation.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop in annual usage from 2019 onwards, with only 1,805 miles recorded between Sep 2019 and Sep 2020, despite a high initial usage.
Things to check
- Dangerous Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit (Sep 2018) — immediate safety concern.
- Recurring Engine/Oil advisories (2018, 2019, 2020) — consistent neglect of critical maintenance.
- Recurring Exhaust advisories (2019, 2020) — multiple warnings for a critical safety component.
- Mileage dropped significantly from 2019 onwards (e.g., 1,805 miles in 2019-2020).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-18, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory (8,282 miles/year) aligns with UK average.
- No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Dec 2025).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
