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

This 2012 Volkswagen has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 44,704 miles. While recent tests show resolution, the overall history suggests a high-wear vehicle that requires thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows exceptionally high annual usage, averaging 22,827 miles per year, with a notable spike of 66,083 miles between April 2022 and May 2023, significantly exceeding the UK average of 8,000 miles.

Things to check

  • High annual mileage (22,827 mi/yr) indicates heavy use, accelerating wear.
  • Recurring suspension failures (May 2021, May 2023) and tyre advisories (Apr 2019, May 2023) point to ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Dangerous tyre defect (May 2023) and fractured coil spring (May 2023) highlight past safety-critical issues.
  • Consistent high mileage (e.g., 66,083 miles in 2022-2023) suggests heavy commercial or high-mileage private use.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies, despite high annual usage.
  • Recent MOT passes (Oct 2025, May 2023) confirm current roadworthiness after addressing past failures.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record for its model.
