AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2012 Volkswagen has 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 30,458 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring advisories on critical wear items like tyres and brakes, combined with a history of community-reported timing belt issues, warrants careful consideration.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,819 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring advisories on tyres (Sep 2021, Sep 2023, Dec 2025) and brakes (Jun 2016, Sep 2022) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Community-reported timing belt degradation for 1.4L engines is a known model weakness for this Caddy.
  • The 2015-04-14 MOT failure for windscreen wipers, though rectified, indicates a minor oversight by the owner.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Clean MOT pass record with no failures across 7 tests since 2015.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,819 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No major structural or recurring mechanical failures recorded in the MOT history.
