AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2015 Volkswagen has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 30,543 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect in critical safety systems warrants careful consideration.

Mileage is consistent, averaging 11,512 miles/year, with a significant spike of 30,690 miles in 12 months (Apr 2019 to Sep 2020), but no decreases or anomalies.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS fuel system leak on 2018-03-29 MOT failure.
  • DANGEROUS offside front tyre on 2018-03-29 MOT failure.
  • Recurring Engine/Oil advisory across 5 tests (2018, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024).
  • Recurring Brake disc advisory across 2 tests (May 2023, May 2024).

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,512 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • All 3 MOT failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or subsequent day.
  • Recent clean MOT pass on 2024-05-31, valid until 2025-06-05.
