AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2015 Volkswagen has 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 16,360 miles. While these were addressed, the recent advisory on shock absorbers warrants careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 7,931 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in 2024-2025 aligning with typical annual mileage.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories (Nov 2022, Nov 2023) and failures (Nov 2023) indicate ongoing wear.
- Multiple tyre advisories (Nov 2023, Nov 2024) and a major failure (Nov 2023) suggest a history of tyre neglect.
- A recent advisory for a shock absorber (Nov 2025) indicates a potential upcoming repair cost.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until November 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory (7,931 mi/yr) aligns well with UK average, suggesting light use.
