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 67% pass rate and 22,309 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, cannot override the severe structural neglect and immediate safety risks.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 4,895 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2026): Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick Both (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f)) on 2026-03-06 MOT.
  • Recurring Brake System failures: 4 major failures and 25 advisories across 6 tests.
  • Recurring Tyre wear: 16 advisories across 5 tests, indicating chronic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-17, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates strong inherent safety features.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (4,895 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
