This 2010 Volkswagen has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 29,479 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,168 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating normal usage over its 16-year lifespan.
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories (2016, 2024) and suspension advisories (2017, 2026) indicate chronic wear.
- Major failures for steering (2018), lights (2018), engine/oil (2018), and emissions (2018) show a history of neglect.
- The 2020 MOT gap suggests the vehicle may have been off-road or SORN, raising questions about maintenance.
- The most recent MOT (Mar 2026) failed on headlamp, exhaust, and anti-roll bar link, with a shock absorber advisory.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,168 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
- The 2017 Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars confirms a safe and reliable vehicle.
