This 2012 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 11,822 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of recurring issues and low mileage requires thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before April 2025 (76 mi/yr equivalent) and again before February 2026 (303 mi/yr equivalent), with a significant drop in annual usage from 2019 onwards.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories (Jun 2018, 2016) and failures (Jun 2018) indicate ongoing wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jun 2019, 2016) and failures (Jun 2019) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
- Major failure for Offside Front Suspension arm (Jun 2018) followed by immediate retest, raising questions about repair quality.
- Mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low usage (76 mi/yr equivalent) before April 2025 and again before Feb 2026.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-02, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety hazards.
