This 2003 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 64,523 miles. The single recorded test in 2018 failed to address a dangerous tyre defect and shows no subsequent passes.
The mileage trajectory shows a critical decrease from 80,788 miles (Aug 2007) to 10,055 miles (Sep 2008), indicating possible odometer tampering, and an unusually high jump before Aug 2009.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Aug 2007 (80,788 mi) and Sep 2008 (10,055 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
- MOT expired 2019-09-01; no valid MOT since then — illegal to drive on public roads.
- Mileage decreased from 80,788 miles (Aug 2007) to 10,055 miles (Sep 2008) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
- Aug 2018 MOT failure for offside front tyre worn close to legal limit — no subsequent PASS or advisory.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a safe and well-designed vehicle.
- No recorded test failures (other than the Aug 2018 tyre advisory) — no recent major defects.
- Consistent annual mileage before 2007 (8,000 miles/yr average) — no hidden long-term neglect.
- Single advisory for a worn tyre in Aug 2018 — a minor, easily rectifiable issue.
