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 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 39,599 miles. However, a significant pattern of brake failures and persistent tyre advisories, combined with a recent MOT gap, warrants careful consideration.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,654 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2023 service gap is noted.
Things to check
- Brake failures recorded in Oct 2019, Nov 2021, and Dec 2021, indicating a recurring safety-critical issue.
- Tyre advisories are recurring across 5 separate tests (Oct 2018, Dec 2020, Oct 2018, Jul 2024, Jul 2025), suggesting chronic wear.
- A 2023 MOT gap is present, indicating the vehicle may have been off-road or not serviced during that period.
- The 2014 Caddy is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until July 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age, averaging 9,654 miles/year, indicating light usage.
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
