This 2003 Volkswagen has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 20,068 miles. The vehicle's age and potential for accumulated wear warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 20,068 miles over 23 years (average 5,403 miles/year), significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year, suggesting potential odometer interference.
Things to check
- MOT HISTORY GAPS: A 4-year MOT gap (2008) is a major red flag for unverified roadworthiness.
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: 20,068 miles over 23 years is significantly below average, indicating potential odometer fraud.
Working in its favour
- Clean MOT PASS: The vehicle has a clean MOT pass record with no recent failures or advisories.
- Consistent Low Mileage: The car has consistently low annual mileage, suggesting light use and potential longevity.
- No Recurring Major Failures: The MOT history shows no recurring major failures on critical safety systems.
- Euro NCAP Rating: The 2017 Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars is excellent for safety, despite the vehicle's age.
