AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2014 Volkswagen has 13 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 6,826 miles. The recurring issues and unexplained service gaps make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,528 miles per year, with a significant 3-year gap in MOT history (2020-2021, 2023) and no recorded mileage during that period.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Tyres worn close to legal limit/worn on edge (May 2024) — immediate safety concern.
- Recurring major failures: Lights (2 major failures, 2 advisories) and brakes (1 major failure) across 11 tests.
- Critical mileage anomaly: 6,826 miles over 12 years (4,528 miles/year) with unexplained 3-year MOT gaps.
- Dangerous defect on first MOT: Tyres worn close to legal limit/worn on edge (Apr 2017) — first test failure.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for a 2014 model.
- MOT currently valid: MOT not due until 2027-05-07, providing significant peace of mind.
- No recent major failures: The most recent MOT pass (May 2026) was after a failure, indicating issues were addressed.
- Consistent mileage trajectory: While low, the mileage has been consistent with no suspicious spikes or drops.
