AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Volkswagen has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 44,503 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring failures and advisories on critical safety systems like tyres and brakes, coupled with persistent shock absorber issues, raises serious concerns about long-term reliability and maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,308 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Persistent tyre failures and advisories across 6 tests (Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Feb 2022, Feb 2023, Feb 2025, Feb 2026).
- Recurring brake system failures and advisories across 5 tests (Feb 2021, Feb 2023, Feb 2024, Feb 2025, Feb 2026).
- Shock absorber fluid leak advisories on Feb 2021, Feb 2023, and Feb 2026, indicating a chronic issue.
- Brake disc wear advisories on Feb 2021, Feb 2023, and Feb 2026, showing a pattern of neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-23, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage of 10,308 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
