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 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 77,466 miles. While it has a long MOT, the repeated advisories and failures warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 16,973 miles/year, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 5,693 miles from 2023 to 2024), which may indicate a change in usage or potential odometer anomalies.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories (2018, 2019) and failures (2019, 2021) indicate ongoing wear.
- Recurring brake disc advisories (2019, 2021) and pad advisories (2019) suggest a need for imminent replacement.
- High annual mileage (16,973 miles/year) compared to UK average (8,000) will accelerate wear.
- The 2019 DANGEROUS tyre failure and subsequent advisories point to a history of poor maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-22, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending component life.
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects have been left unresolved for extended periods.
