This 2007 Volkswagen has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 30,333 miles. The significant mileage discrepancy and a 2020 service gap also warrant careful investigation.

The vehicle shows a significant mileage discrepancy: 124,748 miles by May 2019, but only 30,333 miles by May 2022, with a 2020 service gap, indicating potential odometer fraud or a major data anomaly.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures and advisories across multiple MOT tests (Apr 2021, May 2022) indicate a persistent and costly issue.
  • Significant mileage discrepancy: 124,748 miles by May 2019, but only 30,333 miles by May 2022, suggesting potential odometer fraud.
  • A 2020 service gap is noted, which is a red flag for potential neglect or unrecorded history.
  • The vehicle is currently Untaxed and has a Not Valid MOT status, requiring immediate attention.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a recent clean MOT pass on 2022-05-09, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent annual mileage of 8,698 miles/yr is lower than UK average, suggesting less wear and tear.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or suspension are noted in the MOT history.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 provides a high level of safety assurance for this model.
