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

This 2013 Volkswagen has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 32,365 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's history of neglect in critical safety areas warrants careful consideration.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (1,098 mi/yr equivalent) from registration in Jan 2013 to Oct 2018, followed by normal usage from 2019 onwards, with no evidence of tampering.

Things to check

  • Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures (Aug 2020, Oct 2018) indicate chronic neglect of critical safety components.
  • Major suspension failures (Aug 2020, Aug 2021) and steering rack advisories (May 2022) point to structural wear.
  • Consistent advisories for worn tyres (Oct 2018, Oct 2019, Aug 2021, Jul 2024) show a clear pattern of deferred maintenance.
  • The vehicle's first 5 years of ownership (Jan 2013 to Oct 2018) recorded only 52,938 miles, a significant anomaly.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-10, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2019, averaging 11,430 miles/year, aligning with normal usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud; the mileage anomaly is historical, not recent.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe and well-engineered vehicle.
