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

This 2014 Volkswagen has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 34,658 miles. However, a clear pattern of recurring tyre and suspension failures, coupled with a significant 2020 service gap, warrants careful consideration.

The vehicle shows consistent annual usage, averaging 9,618 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2020 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures and advisories across multiple tests (Jul 2018, Apr 2021, Mar 2023, Mar 2024).
  • Recurring suspension component failures (track rod ends, anti-roll bar dust cover) in Mar 2022 and Mar 2023.
  • Major failure for Offside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of requirements in Mar 2023.
  • Significant 2020 service gap with no MOT recorded for that year.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-08, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (9,618 mi/yr) for its 12-year lifespan.
