This 2002 Volkswagen has 24 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 49,258 miles. The vehicle's age and mileage anomaly present substantial unknown risks.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage for its age, with only 49,258 miles recorded over 24 years, including a suspiciously low 142 miles/year before Feb 2020.

Things to check

  • First MOT in 2006 at 49,258 miles — 14 years after registration, well below UK average.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Clean MOT pass record: 9 consecutive passes with no failures recorded.
  • Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until February 2027, offering peace of mind for two years.
  • No recent major failures: The most recent MOT (Feb 2026) passed without significant issues.
