This 2014 Volkswagen has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 14,470 miles. While the mileage is low, the vehicle's maintenance history warrants careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,797 miles per year, with a significant 90-mile discrepancy on 21 Aug 2023 between a failed and passed MOT.
Things to check
- Recurring brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests (Feb 2019, Aug 2023).
- Persistent shock absorber fluid leak advisory (Mar 2020, Aug 2023, Sep 2024).
- Unusually low annual mileage (5,797 mi/yr) with a 90-mile retest anomaly (21 Aug 2023).
- Multiple tyre advisories (Feb 2019, Mar 2020) and a recent anti-roll bar link advisory (Sep 2025).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-08, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,797 mi/yr) suggests light use.
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects recorded in MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features.
