This 2012 Volkswagen has 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 42,472 miles. While there are recurring advisories for brakes and tyres, these are typical wear items for a 14-year-old vehicle.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,075 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- The single major tyre failure (Oct 2020) was immediately rectified, but highlights past wear issues.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Strong overall MOT pass rate (8/9) with no dangerous defects remaining.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (11,075 mi/yr) for its age.
- No recurring major failures, only advisories for consumables.
