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 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 14,608 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated advisories and one dangerous defect on tyres point to a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 6,664 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but shows a significant drop in usage between 2020 and 2021.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2026): Offside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed tyre balding inner edge worn to cords
  • Dangerous tyre defect (exposed ply) on 2026-04-21 MOT, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories on 2019-12-17 and 2026-04-21, suggesting ongoing wear.
  • Recurring headlamp failures on 2024-05-00 and 2026-04-21, showing a pattern of electrical issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-03, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
