This 2004 Volkswagen has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 33,745 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.
The vehicle shows consistent annual usage, averaging 10,557 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though there are unexplained service gaps in 2012 and 2015.
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories (Aug 2009) and disc wear (Aug 2009) indicate chronic maintenance needs.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories (Aug 2010, Aug 2011) and shock absorber (Jan 2017) point to ongoing wear.
- Recurring windscreen damage (Jun 2007, Aug 2009, Aug 2010) and lights (Aug 2010, Aug 2011) show a pattern of neglect.
- The 2012 and 2015 MOT gaps suggest periods of off-road use or lack of maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,557 miles/year, indicating regular use.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
