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 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 19,568 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring failures and advisories on critical safety and wear items, including tyres, brakes, and shock absorbers, indicates a higher risk of future maintenance costs.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,014 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, including a recent low annual usage of 1,565 miles between August 2024 and September 2025.
Things to check
- Recurring major failures for lights (Jun 2019, Aug 2022) and registration plate lamp (Jun 2018, Jun 2019) suggest electrical neglect.
- Persistent advisories for tyres (Jun 2019, Aug 2022) and brakes (Aug 2022, Sep 2025) across multiple tests indicate chronic wear.
- Shock absorber advisories (Aug 2020, Aug 2021, Aug 2022, Aug 2023, Aug 2024, Sep 2025) show a consistent, unresolved issue.
- The 2015–2017 period shows a significant drop in annual mileage (1,565 miles in 2024–2025), which may indicate a change in usage or storage.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until September 2026, offering immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age (9,014 miles/year), suggesting regular use without abuse.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies, which is a positive for this vehicle.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017) confirms a robust and safe vehicle design.
