This 2013 Volkswagen has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 22,415 miles. However, a clear pattern of recurring brake system failures and advisories, including a DANGEROUS defect in 2019, raises significant concerns about its long-term reliability and maintenance.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,769 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Aug 2024): Offside Rear Hydraulic brake cylinder leaking and braking performance affected (
- DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Hydraulic brake cylinder leaking (Aug 2019) — a serious safety failure.
- Recurring brake system failures: Rear Brakes imbalanced (Aug 2024), binding (Aug 2024), and leaking (Aug 2019).
- Brake system escalation: Advisory on Aug 2021 escalated to MAJOR failure on Aug 2024, indicating a chronic issue.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-26, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,769 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
