This 2012 Volkswagen has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 36,471 miles. The car's low annual mileage for its age, combined with a 3-year MOT gap, demands thorough investigation.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant anomaly: 87,453 miles by July 2019, then only 5,173 miles in 2 years (May 2023), and a mere 50 miles in 4 years (May 2025).
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 87,453 miles by July 2019, then only 5,173 miles in 2 years (May 2023), and 50 miles in 4 years (May 2025).
- Three-year SORN gap: No MOT recorded between 2021 and 2024, indicating potential off-road use or unverified history.
Working in its favour
- No dangerous defects recorded: The single DANGEROUS brake failure in May 2020 was immediately rectified.
- Strong recent MOT pass: The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in May 2025, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage before 2019: The car's initial high mileage (87,453 miles by July 2019) suggests regular use.
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a high level of safety for its time.
